Connecticut Magazine once again names Seven Angels Theatre-Best Community Theatre. This is what they had to say:
“Community theater is alive and well in Waterbury at Stage II, the non-Equity, community division of that city’s Seven Angels Theatre. Notable productions in the past year have included My Fair Lady and To Kill a Mockingbird, and the new season kicks off this month with Annie, directed by local radio-show host Tom Chute, with musical direction by Richard DeRosa. All communities should have such a place for talented local amateurs to gather and put on a show.”
