• ACES Celebrates Reopening of the Little Theatre on Lincoln Street

    06/17/2014


    ACES will be celebrating the reopening of the Little Theatre on Lincoln Street with a ribbon cutting ceremony June 6 at 11 a.m.

    Built in 1924, New Haven’s Little Theatre (formerly known as Little Theatre on Lincoln) has seen several incarnations, including a period as a beloved art-film cinematheque. After months of construction, the latest transformation will be unveiled at a ribbon-cutting ceremony to be held June 6. Designed by local architecture firm Svigals + Partners, the renovation for Area Cooperative Educational Services (ACES) preserves the structure’s unique historic qualities while delivering dual functions: a cutting-edge theater venue and performing arts teaching facility.

  • Reflecting diversity: Choice schools in city more aligned to demographics

    04/11/2014

    MERIDEN — In a report released this week, a New Haven nonprofit group finds that enrollment at magnet, technical, and charter schools across the state doesn’t reflect the population diversity of the cities and towns where they’re located. Locally, however, Edison Middle School, an inter-district Area Cooperative Educational Services (ACES) magnet school, and H.C. Wilcox Technical High School, are more closely aligned to city demographics than other choice schools throughout the state.

    Alicia Clapp may be close to 82 years young, but age is just a number when it comes to this chair of ACES Governing Board. She was recently honored at the ACES Educational Center for the Arts annual gala for her 20 years of work on the ACES board.

    "It's been a wonderful 20 years," she says.
