HALO
SUMMARY
When an image of Jesus appears on the side of a Cape Breton Tim Hortons (right across from the Lick-a-Chick!), life is forever changed. Familiar characters are challenged to ask difficult questions about faith, life and love with sometimes moving, sometimes hilarious results. But could this modern miracle be real?
Based on True Events
“HALO is theatre at its very best. There is not a false note in this high-wire act of comedy and tragedy with beautifully-written, believable characters who never lose their balance in script or performance. ”

DIRECTOR’S NOTES:
I want to congratulate Kevin and Wesley Colford on the 2nd summer season of theatre at HAT. Their indefatigable efforts have resulted in a revitalized downtown theatre scene. We are so lucky to have this facility – one that we have been longing to see for many years.
I want to thank you, our audience, for attending Halo and the other summer plays. Obviously, without an audience there would be no theatre. Your support is crucial toward making HAT a success.
I want to acknowledge the dedication and hard work done by the cast and crew of our production of Halo. It has been a great pleasure working with everyone involved.
I hope you enjoy the play
