This program is produced by North Carolina Theatre and presented by Capital Bank! The mission is to shine the spotlight on musical theatre excellence at the high school level. NC Theatre is proud to provide another stage for the talented youth of this community!
I attended the show last night and it was wonderful. There was so much talent on that one stage. It was an honor to see the hard work, dedication and commitment of all involved.
Congratulations to the NC Theater for a job well done.
It was very exciting to read about the Capital Awards being given out to the best shows from the schools in N. Carolina. These young people just might be the recipients of the Tony Awards sometime in the future. Bravo to all you do for the community.
I had the pleasure of being in the audience for this amazing evening with these talented kids. Those that missed it really should make an effort next year.
Those kids were not to be believed. Who knew how much talent is in this great state!
Best $15 I ever spent.
Capital Awards trully support and gives recognition to those who excel not to mention that it also gives motivation to those who did not win to improve more. Way to go to all the winners.
