St. Luke’s left the May 31st Halo Awards with two prestigious wins: Nick Jodka '16 won Best Leading Actor Performance for an Actor in a Contemporary Musical for his performance as Princeton in Avenue Q. St. Luke’s production of Lisa Loomer’s Distracted was honored with the top award of the evening: Best Contemporary Play.
Eighteen St. Luke’s students and four faculty members traveled to the majestic Palace Theatre in Waterbury for the 13th Annual Halo Awards hosted by the Seven Angels Theatre. The Halo Awards is the premiere award ceremony for Connecticut high school theatre. The ceremony is set up Tony Awards style with a red carpet, presenters, and performances (including St. Luke’s singing For Now from Avenue Q).
Fourteen Halo judges (some of the best and brightest names in the state’s professional theatre) attended close to two hundred performances at about seventy public and independent schools throughout Connecticut. This is the first year St. Luke’s is participating in these awards and we were nominated for eighteen awards and won two.
We are incredibly proud of all in our students who participated in this ceremony and in our award-winning theatre program.
St. Luke’s School is a secular (non-religious), private school in New Canaan, CT for grades 5 through 12 serving over 40 towns in Connecticut and New York. Our exceptional academics and diverse co-educational community foster students’ intellectual and ethical development and prepare them for top colleges. St. Luke’s Leading with Humanity curriculum builds the commitment to serve and the confidence to lead.
