WOODSTOCK – A former treasurer of a local theater group who was dismissed by the organization early this year has been charged with stealing more than $5,600 from it.

Kelly K. Waterman, 40, of 3021 Crescent Ave., McHenry, was charged Tuesday morning with theft of more than $500, a Class 3 felony, Woodstock Police Sgt. Chip Amati said. She will have to post 10 percent, or $2,000, of her $20,000 bail to be released.

Waterman “knowingly exerted unauthorized control over property of Townsquare Players Inc.,” according to the criminal complaint. Townsquare Players is a nonprofit community theater group that operates at the Woodstock Opera House.
