Instead of going the way of the wrecking ball as so many historic theaters have, the Palace Theater, originally named Poli's Palace after the great impresario Sylvester Z. Poli, was rescued from that fate and re-opened to great fanfare in 2004. The Tuesday morning class includes visuals and handouts and guest presenters, along with the opportunity to watch the behind-the-scenes load-in process of the national tour of "Waitress" during the April 22nd class.
The class will meet weekly at the theater 100 East Main Street, Waterbury, CT. Cost is $35. Pre-registration is required and may be done in person or by calling the Box office at 203.346.2000.
