Built in 1949, the Raven Performing Arts Theater was originally created as a "move over" motion picture theater. After increased competition caused the theater to close, a group of locals organized to purchase the theater with the idea of preserving the performing arts in Sonoma County. Several renovations later, and this 443 seat theater is now home to more than 100 performers and volunteers.
