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
  • Acknowledge the value of high school theater programs and give drama students the same recognition that high school athletes receive
  • Introduce young people to The 5th Avenue Theatre and help nurture their appreciation for live musical theater

The Nominations

Each year, our adjudicators visit high schools around Washington State to view their musical productions. Nominations are made in a variety of categories, including overall musical production, lead actors, supporting actors, chorus, ensemble group, direction, music direction, choreography, orchestra, design, stage crew, lobby display, and program design.

The Show

As part of the festivities, each award recipient is invited to give an acceptance speech. In addition, nominees for Outstanding Musical Production, Outstanding Male Actor and Outstanding Female Actor perform on The 5th Avenue Theatre's beautiful stage.

Apply to be considered for the 2009 5th Avenue Awards.
