The spotlight shines bright on the talents of high school students at the annual High School Musical Theatre Awards on the MainStage at Proctors 7 p.m. May 4.
Presented by the Daily Gazette and supporting sponsor Peregrine Engineering, this prestigious event celebrates the dedication, passion and creativity of young performers, directors and production teams across the region.
The High School Musical Theatre Awards are modeled after the Tony Awards, and aimed to recognize outstanding local musical theatre productions and students. This award show has become a highlight of the local arts calendar, showcasing the best of the best in high school productions and supporting young performers and the future of the theatre industry.
These awards recognize excellence in several categories including Best Technical Execution, Best Set Construction, Best Student Orchesta, Best Choreography Execution and more. This year, 19 different local high schools participated, representing a diverse range of communities. Adjudicators, comprised of industry professionals, reviewed performances this spring and these nominees are based on their criteria.
In addition to the awards, patrons will also enjoy captivating performances from select nominees and a showcase featuring the students nominated for Best Actor and Best Actress. The winners of these categories will continue to New York City to perform in the National High School Musical Theatre Awards (The Jimmys) and participate in Broadway-style workshops.
Tickets are available through the Box Office at Proctors in-person, via phone at (518) 346-6204 Monday-Saturday 10 a.m.-6 p.m. or visit atproctors.org. Groups of 10 or more can get their tickets by calling (518) 382-3884 ext. 139.
