The Teeny Awards, a high school theater recognition program run by the nonprofit East End Arts, is seeking qualified volunteers to be judges for the 2017-2018 academic year.
Now in its 16th year, the Teeny Awards recognize talented theater students at an annual ceremony that moves each year to a different high school. The judges adjudicate performances—both plays and musicals—at the 17 participating Eastern Suffolk high schools to determine the most outstanding actors and shows. Candidates must commit to attending at least eight shows during the season.
“Ideal candidates should be passionate about all aspects of theater with an understanding of the hard work that each student puts into each production,” said Kristen Lee Curcie, the new East End Arts Teeny Awards Coordinator. “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, contact Ms. Curcie, at teenyawards@eastendarts.org, and attend the preseason judges meeting at East End Arts’ Carriage House in Riverhead on Monday, October 2, at 6:30 p.m.
