The State Theatre FREDDY© Awards program recognizes and rewards exceptional accomplishments in the production and performance of musical theatre in local high schools. The awards ceremony is broadcast live on WFMZ Channel 69.

Part of the vision for the FREDDY© Awards was to capture the experience beyond the live telecast...the weeks of rehearsal, the camaraderie between students, the production shoots, and, of course, the main event, through the lens of a camera. If the television broadcast was about capturing the action, the still photographs are about capturing the moment.

Wilson Black & Tom Kosa have been producing emotionally poignant photographs that reflect history in the making since the FREDDY© Awards began in 2003.

They spend countless volunteer hours to capture 10s of thousands of photographs every year.
