A Pause with Purpose

For more than a decade, William Street Repertory has brought powerful professional theatre to Raue Center’s stage, earning loyal audiences and critical acclaim.

At this time, WSRep is on hiatus as we navigate current funding obstacles impacting many arts organizations. We remain deeply proud of its legacy and are hopeful that WSRep will return in the months ahead.

Thank you for your continued support of the arts in our community.
