History of the Halos
In 1993, Artistic Director Semina DeLaurentis created the Halo Awards, a program that celebrated high school theatre in the Greater Waterbury Region. The program included 8 schools and the ceremony was held at Seven Angels Theatre. Over the years, the program grew too large to be held at Seven Angels and eventually transferred to the Palace Theatre in Downtown Waterbury. The program has grown from one night of awards to two nights of awards and is now the powerhouse that it is with four nights of awards and over 100 participating high schools from across the State of Connecticut.
