Visionary Leadership

The Palace Theater Board of Directors, led by Chair Paul Pernerewski, provides both exemplary leadership and firm commitment to the Palace Theater’s mission. They share a passion for the Palace Theater and advocate for the importance of the arts in the Greater Waterbury Community.  

Forward-thinking, but with a respect for the theater’s historic role within the community, members of the Board work closely with Palace staff to lead the theater into its next century of artistic, cultural, and educational innovation.
