Hope, healing & justice for abused children.

Will County Children's Advocacy Center

The Will County Children's Advocacy Center was founded in 1995 by State's Attorney James Glasgow to partner with multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) comprised of law enforcement, DCFS investigators, medical personnel, prosecutors, and Will County CAC forensic interviewers, family advocates, and trauma therapists in response to reports of severe physical abuse, sexual abuse, commercial exploitation, neglect, and exposure to violence of children, in Will County, IL. Our Will County CAC intake/MDT coordinator, forensic interviewers, family advocates, and trauma therapists provide the following services: * Forensic Interviews: After a child is referred to the Will County CAC by law enforcement or the IL Dept. of Family Services (DCFS), our Intake Coordinator schedules a forensic interview for the child. One of our 4 forensic interviewers listens to the child’s story and asks non-leading, developmentally-appropriate questions as the child talks about the trauma he/she has experienced. Law enforcement, prosecution, DCFS, and mental health professionals observe the interview from a separate room. This reduces trauma for the child and provides a stronger foundation if the case goes to court. * Family Advocacy: Our family advocates are committed to helping each family navigate the complex systems that a family enters when a child makes an outcry of abuse. As each case goes through the investigation, prosecution and healing process, the team is there to help the family understand the process, learn about their rights and successfully access resources that will help their family during crisis. * Trauma-Focused Therapy: Our team of licensed clinical social workers provide short-term, trauma informed therapy to children who have received a forensic interview. Since child abuse affects the whole family, the services are available at no cost to both the child and their non-offending family members. Individual and group therapy is offered in English and Spanish.

Remington Woods to Host Saturday Open House as Final Phase is Complete
Remington Woods will host a Saturday Open House from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., offering prospective buyers the opportunity to tour the final available homes in the community’s completed final phase.
The event will be hosted by Brandy Crask, Director of Sales, who has played a central role in shaping the homes, finishes and buyer experience at Remington Woods.
Located at 22601 S. Remington Dr. in Channahon, Remington Woods is a 55+ single-family community featuring brand-new ranch-style homes, spacious private yards and a peaceful wooded setting.
“There is a feeling here that is hard to put into words until you drive through it,” Crask says. “These are some of the quietest streets you will ever experience, surrounded by mature trees and beautiful single-family homes. I had the opportunity to design these homes with the finishes and luxury upgrades I would want in my own home — larger islands, upgraded cabinetry, beautiful lighting, spacious primary suites and details that make the homes feel elevated from the moment you walk in.”
For Crask, the completion of the final phase is especially meaningful. This community has become very personal to me,” she says. “I have watched these streets come together home by home, helped buyers choose where they wanted to live, and designed homes around the way people actually want to live in this next chapter of their lives. There will never be another phase added. When these final homes are sold, Remington Woods is complete. That makes this open house feel a little different.”

Homes in the final phase are currently offered from approximately $135,000 to $182,500, with ranch-style floor plans ranging from approximately 1,280 to 1,568 square feet.
Residents also enjoy access to a 5,000-square-foot clubhouse, 24-hour fitness center, billiards, library and gathering spaces, walking paths, an outdoor pergola, picnic area and cedar swings.
“I want people to come out and experience it for themselves,” Crask says. “Drive the streets slowly. Look at the yards. Walk through the homes. Sit in the clubhouse. It is peaceful here, and I think that is what people remember most. Remington Woods gives you the feeling of coming home before you have even chosen which home is yours.”
Saturday Open House 9 a.m.–3 p.m. Remington Woods 22601 S. Remington Dr. Channahon, IL 60410

Curtain Call Theatre

Put four adults in a room to calmly resolve a conflict between their children. Add strained marriages, bruised egos, questionable parenting, a ringing cell phone and a little alcohol. What begins as a perfectly reasonable conversation can only end one way - CARNAGE.
Curtain Call Theatre will present Yasmina Reza’s wickedly funny, Tony Award-winning comedy ‘God of Carnage’ September 25–27 and October 2–4, 2026. The show is directed by Jo O’Brien.
The premise seems simple enough: After one 11-year-old boy hits another with a stick on the playground, their parents meet to discuss the incident like mature, responsible adults. They are educated. They are polite. They are civilized…for about five minutes.
As pleasantries give way to passive aggression and passive aggression gives way to something considerably less passive, alliances shift, marriages crack and the adults prove that playground behavior isn't necessarily something we grow out of.
Dark, biting and painfully recognizable, ‘God of Carnage’ turns a well-intentioned conversation between parents into an increasingly unhinged examination of marriage, manners, parenting and the thin veneer separating civilized society from absolute chaos. It's the kind of evening where everyone arrives determined to do the right thing…and leaves having said several things they'll regret, or do they?
Curtain Call Theatre's production adds another layer to the battle of personalities with two casts appropriately dubbed ID and EGO, each taking the stage for one weekend.
The ID Cast, performing September 25–27, features Josh Maywin, Ashley Ries, Heidi Drennan and Anthony Uzzardo.
The EGO Cast, performing October 2–4, features Josh Maywin, Patti Goodson, Caitlin Weinert and Gabe Goldman.
Audiences can choose their preferred psychological dysfunction or see both casts and decide for themselves which group descends into chaos more spectacularly.
Written by acclaimed French playwright Yasmina Reza and translated by Christopher Hampton, ‘God of Carnage’ premiered in London before making its Broadway debut in 2009, where it earned the Tony Award for Best Play. Its razor-sharp dialogue, rapidly shifting loyalties and gleefully uncomfortable humor have made it a favorite of theatres around the world.
At its heart, God of Carnage asks an unsettling question: How civilized are we, really, when someone insults our child, our spouse, our career, our values — or our dessert?
Curtain Call Theatre invites audiences to come find out. Just remember: the children started it. The adults make it worse.
