Angelica Camata Memorial Scholarship in Theatre

Award descriptionScholarships totalling $5,000 have been made available annually through a gift from Craig T. Wilson in memory of his grandmother, Angelica Marguerita Camata (n?e Brunoro), for outstanding Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Fine Arts students in Theatre Studies, Acting or Design and Production. Angelica (1887-1970) was raised in St. Stefano, a small town in northern Italy and immigrated to Canada in 1913. She always loved opera, and even though she has no formal education beyond grade three, she was able to identify any Verdi or Puccini aria upon hearing only three notes. She was also involved in theatre and both acted and directed. The scholarships are made on the recommendation of the Department of Theatre and Film.
