For Teachers
Dear Teachers,
Your school is invited to participate in the first annual Excellence in High School Musical Theater Awards! The Excellence Awards emphasize the importance of arts education by celebrating and supporting your dedication to high school musical theater.
.
Recognition of outstanding achievement by students and educators will be made in the areas of performance, design, direction, choreography, technical production and overall production excellence. The Excellence Awards judges are comprised of area theater professionals, performing artists, theater arts educators and those with a history in the theater field. Three judges will attend each participating school and evaluate their production. On May 16, the Tony Awards-style ceremony will be presented on the Charlotte Performing Arts Center stage, complete with guest presenters and live music. Schools nominated for best musical production will perform one musical number from their show. The winners of best actor and best actress will also be entered in the National High School Theater Awards, The Jimmy’s. They will be invited to travel to New York where they will join winners from throughout the country in a gala awards ceremony. You can get more information about the NHSMTA on the website: nhsmta.com. Mark your calendars for next year’s competition in NYC June 23rd-28th.
Enclosed with this letter you will find an informational packet and participation forms. High schools in Barry and Eaton counties have been invited to participate. The forms need to be filled out completely and sent to us no later than Friday, January 29, 2010.
We hope that you join us this year as we recognize outstanding student achievement in high school musical theater. We look forward to participating with you in future years as the program grows. We have many new and exciting aspects that we will be working to add in the coming years, including scholarship opportunities.
We look forward to hearing from you soon! For the latest updates, check out our website: excellenceawards.wordpress.com
