Students in the Enchantment Awards come from all over New Mexico. We recognize individual artistry in performance, honor teachers and schools’ commitment to theatre education, and celebrate accomplishments of students and teachers.
While we are an awards program once a year, we are an education program every day. All our work with students is grounded in storytelling skills and honest character portrayals.
We select the top 20 high school students in New Mexico from all who are nominated to coach them for a week in solo and group performance. We also invite two students from every registered school to participate in our Directors Choice Chorus. Our professional staff coaches these students to improve their skills. They gain so much in their week with us that they return to their programs as more advanced students, seeding those drama programs with better performers.
We choose a Best Actor and Best Actress in our awards show, sending them to the Jimmy Awards in New York City, where they work with Broadway professionals and perform with dozens of their peers from across the country.
