High School Musical Awards
The 5th Avenue High School Musical Theatre Awards, sponsored by Wells Fargo, is a night to remember. This exciting, Tony Awards-style show was created to honor the work, talent and commitment that students, parents and faculty devote to their school’s yearly musical productions. To acknowledge the value of high school theater programs and give drama students the same recognition that high school athletes receive. And to introduce young people to The 5th Avenue Theatre and nurture their appreciation for live musical theater.
2009-2010 Awards
The 2009-2010 awards ceremony will be held on June 7, 2010 at 7pm at the 5th Avenue Theatre.
