The biggest celebration of high school theater in New Mexico
We recognize individual artistry in performance, honor teachers and schools’ commitment to theatre education, and celebrate accomplishments of drama students and teachers from all over the State of New Mexico.
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 our program. We 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, too. They gain so much in their time with us that they return to their programs as more advanced students, seeding those drama programs with better performers. And, they put on a heck of a show!
We choose a Best Actor and Best Actress during 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.
