Prime Stage Theatre's 4th Annual High School Drama Awards will take place January 29, 2024 at the New Hazlett Theater. The Drama Awards honor excellence in non-musical plays by student actors, directors and production crew. Students from 12 area high schools were nominated in 16 categories. OLSH received nine nominations for its production of We are the Sea this fall.

 

"What makes these awards unique," says Drama Awards coordinator John Dolphin, "is that to be eligible, the students must be in a backstage leadership role or an onstage performance role. We encourage adult mentorship and assistance, but in the end, these productions are student-run." This was OLSH Theatre's first year participating in this awards program and the students enjoyed the opportunity to step into roles that are often filled by adult staff or volunteers.
