History

The Wings association was founded in 1992 by five of Huntsville's performing arts groups and The Arts Council to improve production levels and to foster cooperation amoung the performing groups. Membership has ebbed and flowed over the years, but now stands at eight performing groups, plus The Arts Council. (See Membership, especially if you are unfamiliar with the group name abbreviations used throughout these pages.)

The awards categories have also changed dramatically (how else?) throughout the years and are still evolving. Currently, awards are given in 27 acting, directing, and technical categories. (See Category history.)
