Cappies Nominations Announced - Congratulations!

The Cappies is a national program that encourages high school students with interests in the performing arts and in journalism. Student critics review productions at neighboring schools and then vote on Tony-like awards, which are given at the end of the year to performers. One review of each participating show also appears in the St.Louis Post-Dispatch. Out of 33 awards, Clayton received nominations in over half the categories. Each of the 33 categories has five nominees. Only one student from each school may qualify for a category. Sixteen schools participated in this second St.Louis season of Cappies including both public and private schools. All 25 Clayton student nominees, plus the nominated pit orchestra, are invited to attend the nominees’ reception at Eureka High School on Sunday, April 30th. The following week on Sunday, May 7th, the Cappies Gala and Awards Ceremony will be held at the Blanche Touhill Performing Arts Center where students from all over St.Louis, including our cast from “Into the Woods,” will perform for their peers and family.
