The area is dominated by several historic struc­ tures, most notably the Woodstock Opera House, built in late 1800s in "Steamboat Gothic" style. The west end of the square is dominated by the Old Courthouse Inn, the structure which housed McHenry County government until a new structure was built on the north side of Woodstock in the 1970s. In danger of destruction, It was pur­ chased by local residents Cliff and Bev Ganschow and now houses two restaurants and several shops and boutiques. Many of the summer, square ac­ tivities take place in the opera house, which over the years has hosted such luminaries as Paul Newman, Orson Welles and Tom Boaley. Some famous future face may be ap­ pearing in the Illinois Stage Company production of "How the Other Half Loves," a farcical comedy opening June 7 at the opera house. The comedy, writ­ ten by Alan Ayckbourn, centers on the activities of three couples, with.the men all working for the same firm, and crazy goings-on when the tangled webs of their extra-marital affairs start to unravel.
