Wilton High School Theatre participated in two statewide performance adjudication programs this year and received 24 nominations, including two production staff nominations.
The adjudication process provides educational feedback for school theatrical productions. Each of the adjudication organizations presents awards at the end of the year — Seven Angels Theatre adjudicates the Fall Play and the Spring Musical and presents the Halo Awards; Broadway Method Academy adjudicates only the Spring Musical and presents the Sondheim Awards.
