The High School Theater Awards were created in 1998 to shine a spotlight on the exceptional musical theater productions, talented actors and actresses and devoted creative teams who take to the stage every spring in our local high schools. High Schools in Rockland and Westchester Counties in New York and Bergen County in New Jersey are invited to participate in this competition. Throughout the spring musical season, Helen Hayes Theatre judges evaluate participating shows. In June, all the participating schools are celebrated in an awards ceremony modeled after Broadway’s Tony Awards. Broadway stars hand out the awards, top nominated schools and actors perform live and the theater students in our region receive the support and recognition that they so deserve.
Just wondering how we can get Putnam included!??? Anyone ever tried??
