We're Celebrating 100 Years with Mister Wonderland
The Palace Theater is Turning 100. Come celebrate with a free movie screening of Mister Wonderland on March 26. Everyone is invited.
Mister Wonderland March 26, 2022 | 1:30pm
The film Mister Wonderland explores the life of the great theatrical impresario Sylvester Z. Poli, who opened the Palace Theater in 1922. The documentary originally aired on PBS in 2021 and sets out to find what remains today of Poli’s theaters and the communities they used to serve. Waterbury’s Palace Theater is one of only two theaters left in Poli’s empire and is featured in the film alongside our late historian, Lou Belloisy. A short ceremony will introduce the film’s producers and some of Poli’s descendants.
This event is open to the public; tickets are free but required. Guests will enjoy free popcorn and a champagne toast.
