The 5th Avenue Awards: Honoring High School Musical Theater
The 5th Avenue Awards Honoring High School Musical Theater, sponsored by Wells Fargo, is a night to remember. This exciting, Tony Awards-style show was created to celebrate 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.
