ArtsBridge Foundation Announces Nominees For 2023 Shuler Awards

 

In a special online presentation in partnership with Georgia Public Broadcasting, ArtsBridge Foundation today announced the nominees for the 15th Annual Georgia High School Musical Theatre Awards (GHSMTA), for the 2022-23 school year.

Also known as the Shuler Awards or The Shulers-named for the Marietta-born stage and screen star Shuler Hensley-the GHSMTA will be celebrated at Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre and via live broadcast on GPB-TV on April 20 at 8 p.m. The evening includes festive purple-carpet arrivals inspired by the Tony Awards, live nominee performances, and trophies presented in 18 categories. Scholarship recipients will also be announced.

A video of today's nominations announcement, as well as the future winner announcements, may be found at ArtsBridgeGA.org/Programs/Shuler-Awards/

GHSMTA winners and nominees are recognized as the best of the state's high school musical theatre students and schools. The complete nominees list is available later in this press release and online in the GHSMTA section of ArtsBridgeGA.org.

The main objectives of the GHSMTA are to increase awareness, advocacy, and support for Georgia's arts education programs, to develop and foster growing talent by providing learning and performance opportunities, and to cultivate/nurture productive relationships among Georgia's promising thespians and educators.

GHSMTA categories include direction, music direction, orchestra, lighting, sound, technical execution, scenic design, choreography, ensemble, costumes, overall production, Showstopper and best leading performers, supporting performer and a featured performer. In 2021 the competition added a Spotlight Award carried over to 2022 and 2023.

"A huge focus this year has been on encouraging and celebrating how programs across the state of Georgia are creating inclusive, diverse, equitable and accessible theatre spaces where all students feel honored, seen and understood," said Elizabeth Lenhart, director of arts education for ArtsBridge Foundation. "This is particularly important as we commemorate our 15th Annual presentation of the Georgia High School Musical Theatre Awards.

"We are looking back at the journey, honoring how far we've come, acknowledging the accomplishments of where we are, and looking forward as we take steps to be a conduit of necessary change within arts education," added Lenhart. "Change also aligns with ArtsBridge Foundation's commitment to its mission, vision, and Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access (I.D.E.A.) Policy." added Lenhart.

"On behalf of ArtsBridge Foundation, we congratulate each of this year's nominees from high schools spanning all of Georgia," said Jennifer D. Dobbs, executive director of ArtsBridge Foundation. "We can hardly wait to celebrate the milestones of our first 15 years when we gather on April 20 for this year's awards ceremony."

ArtsBridge Foundation and GPB-TV live broadcasts of the GHSMTA won the Southeast Emmy Award in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 for special event coverage, indicative of the superb quality and high production value Georgia students bring at show time. The broadcast was also a finalist for the Southeast Emmy in and 2022.

In recent months, a record 51 volunteer adjudicators (up from 46 last year) who each are Georgia-based arts professionals fanned out across the state to attend 51 live GHSMTA participating high school productions presented by hopeful high school theater students, some accompanied by high school band and orchestra participants.

"Adding adjudicators created more constructive feedback for the students as well as advocacy for the participating schools," said Dobbs. "We can't thank these dedicated volunteers enough for their enabling us to expand statewide volunteer reach and heart of ArtsBridge Foundation."

High school theater students and departments were judged to create scores enabling presentation of 16 categories including: direction, music direction, orchestra, choreography, overall production, scenic design, lighting, costumes, technical execution, sound, and best performances by an ensemble, two leading performers, two supporting performer and a featured performer. Adjudicators also cited one school each to receive the Spotlight and Showstopper awards.

The list of nominees, which represent 39 schools from 17 Georgia counties (compared with 26 schools from 13 counties last year), was from an initial pool of 52 participating schools spanning 22 Georgia counties. Unfortunately, one school had to withdraw from the competition due to cast/crew illness.

"While about half of the competitors hailed from Metro Atlanta high schools, participating schools spanned the Peach state, including five counties competing for the first time," said Lenhart. "The nomination list includes 27 Metro Atlanta entrants and three nominated schools from first-time finalists across the state."

This year, Decatur High School leads with 10 overall nominations for their production of "9 to 5" while Greenbrier High School and Starr's Mill High School each earned eight nominations for "Addams Family" and "Anastasia: The Musical," respectively.

Rounding out the list of schools with the most overall nominations, Roswell High School earned seven nominations for their production of "Bright Star" while Denmark High School and Prince Avenue Christian School emerged with five nominations each for "Newsies" and "Beauty and the Beast," respectively.

As is tradition, the leading actress and actor winners will travel to New York City as Georgia's entrants for the National High School Musical Theatre Awards program named The Jimmy Awards and participate in the awards show at the Minskoff Theatre on Broadway on June 26, with merit scholarships and professional opportunities on the line.

The accounting firm Bennett Thrasher tabulated the results for the 2023 GHSMTA nominees. More information is available online via ArtsBridgeGA.org/Programs/Shuler-Awards.

Since 2009, the GHSMTA program has engaged over 60,000 students from 142 schools and 38 counties/school systems. In August, registrations for 50 schools were completed in a record 10 minutes for the 2022-23 season, with two schools also securing competition berths from past COVID-related changes.

Scholarships Awarded

In step with the Shuler Awards, today's announcement also included the names of six of the eight students chosen to receive one or more of the 10 theater- and performing arts-related monetary or in-kind scholarships.

ArtsBridge Foundation and its partners will divvy out $17,187 in scholarships, with the individual cash scholarships ranging from $500 to $5,000 each.
