East End Arts is looking for new judges for its high school theater recognition program, the Teeny Awards.
The Teeny Awards, now entering its 17th year, recognizes and celebrates talented theater students across the East End of Long Island, according to the nonprofit. Qualified volunteers are needed to evaluate high school theatrical performances for the 2018-2019 academic year.
The volunteer judges adjudicate all performances and determine the most outstanding performances to receive a Teeny Award.
“Ideal candidates should be passionate about all aspects of theatre, have experience on stage or behind the scenes, and should have a full understanding of the hard work that each student puts into each production,” Teeny Awards coordinator Kristen Lee Curcie said in a statement. “I am thrilled to have the opportunity to support this great arts community, and hope to have both new and veteran judges to fill these important positions. It means so much to these students.”
For more information on becoming a judge and to receive an application, contact Ms. Curcie at teenyawards@eastendarts.org, and attend the pre-season judges meeting at the East End Arts Gallery at 133 East Main Street in Riverhead on Monday, September 17, at 6:30 p.m.
Judges will be selected based on experience and knowledge of theater, according to East End Arts. Judges attend productions anonymously and adjudicate students with the use of an evaluation tool based on the academic rubric. Orientation is provided. Theatrical performances take place at 17 high schools in eastern Suffolk County.
