Since 2002, the East End Arts Teeny Awards has celebrated excellence in theater in East End Long Island area high schools.
All nominees, performers, technical recognition honorees and Teeny Awards Student Council members can attend the ceremony for FREE, but they must RSVP for their ticket.
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.

Ally Ali is one of the voices you hear on 106.1 BLI, co-hosting the Syke Morning show with Ally Ali weekdays from 6 to 10 am.
While she’s not chasing down the Jonas Brothers, playing bingo, making target runs, or watching Judge Judy, she is sitting in an auditorium with a playbill in her hand. Ally loves not only going to Broadway shows (last seeing “Funny Girl” and “&Juliet”), she loves supporting the talented student performers of Long Island, and even created Ally Ali’s High School Musical Tour, where she visited over 10 school districts and showcased their plays/musicals on social media.
Having a theatre background herself, Ally knows just how important the arts are for building confidence, friendships, as well as overall compassion and understanding for others. She is beyond thrilled to share the stage with all the incredible students at the Teeny Awards as your 2023 Teeny Awards host!
The Teeny Awards ceremony is held in June and recognizes talent in the categories of Lead Actor, Lead Actress, Supporting Actor, and Supporting Actress. Awards are given to Play and Musical performance categories. Additional awards are given to Student Choreographers, Poster Designers, and Outstanding Performer in a Play or Musical.
Each ceremony includes favorite performances from the season.
Whether you have a student that’s studying performing arts or just want to revel in the joy of teens celebrating success, attend the Teeny Awards.
