ABOUT US
HALO Performing Arts was founded in 1997 when Angelique Goitia-Daugherty graduated and began teaching Voice, Dance and Drama in various studios in the City of Chicago. She has been blessed with the ability to do what she loves by Performing, Instructing, and Directing. The program has since evolved into a Community-based, not-for-profit Theater Company, that works in partnership with neighboring Community Centers & Park Districts as our missions are the same --to provide the highest quality instruction for students of all ages as we improve the quality of life for our communities.
