Raue Center for the Arts Concerts

My favorite venue! I had the pleasure of being the Raue Center 2023 Photography Fellow and it was such an amazing experience. The talent and artists that perform at this historic venue are truly amazing. The sound is known to be one of the best in Chicagoland and the starry ceiling is mesmerized. It’s one of the only remaining theaters that have it. This theater is a gem in downtown Crystal Lake, so if you haven’t been, please go and support these amazing people. The volunteers are aways smiling and are some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet.

Awesome little venue. Still has the vintage design. Nice lighting. Show started pretty much on time after a 5 minute commercial monolog by the manager voicing up-and-coming events. Exit could've been expedited better, but all in all, a delightful place.

We went to see Diary of a Wimpy Kid the Musical yesterday. I was so impressed by the young actors. They were all just wonderful. It was a great show for families to see. The set was quite impressive too. It was our first time at this theater. But definitely not our last. It's a lovely theater, not a bad seat in the house.

Fabulous theater for great entertainment. We saw Joe Bonamassa here almost 20 years ago. Last week we caught Bourbon Country live at the Raue. Great seats and excellent sounds!

First time at this theater and enjoyed the whole experience! The theater was lovely and the seats were comfortable. Masks were needed to enter. Staff were friendly and helpful. Drinks are available to purchase. Bathrooms were clean and enough stalls to accommodate patrons. Came to see a tribute to Joe Cocker and Aretha Franklin and they were fabulous! Hope to come back again soon
