We believe in unleashing the creativity of teens who perform on stage and those that work behind the scenes to make the magic happen.
We build a community of advocates for the performing arts in high school just as athletic boosters provide support for sports.
All year long, anonymous volunteer judges with theatre and arts experience attend all high school theatrical performances on the East End to identify the best for nomination in every category.
