100% Student Driven
The Cappies strive to recognize the area’s talented community of young writers, performers, and technical crews. Students are trained as critics, attend shows at other schools, and write and publish reviews. At the end of the school year, critics vote to give awards to their peers for their achievements in performance, writing, and technical categories.
