Judges’ Choice Award
This award is chosen in a vote by the judges. It is for a particular scene, musical number, dance number, ensemble effort, or group that the judges feel stands out enough to warrant the special recognition.
This year’s Judges’ Choice Award was a tie for:
The student producers of “13 the Musical” at Pierson. This show was produced by a small group of students in the International Baccalaureate program, and between summer jobs and obligations, they worked as a group to re-create a performance that was near and dear to their hearts, breaking it down and putting it back together. The final product was a spectacular feat.
The entire production of “Yip! Yip! Yaphank” at Longwood, for the sheer scope of effort to present this piece of local theater history. The judges have never seen this kind of multiyear project that involved students in research and preparation, and it could not go without being recognized.
Also acknowledged during the awards ceremony were technical recognition honorees including student stage managers, lighting, audio, costume and prop designers, assistant directors and pit orchestra members.
