I commend the High School Theatre Awards for trying to do a better job this year at making the HSTA legit and “FAIR”. In the past it seemed as if they handed out the awards like a card dealer passing out cards. One for you and one for you etc…. Having said that, I was curious and looked up the process for the TONY award nominations and how they are judged. All the judges have to see All the shows over the course of the year. I know there are a lot less shows to see on Broadway than our 39 shows, but to have a HSTA judge only view 3 shows and not have the 36 others to compare it to…… How is that a fair assessment of any of our shows?

Speaking of Fairness did anyone else catch that the school that won for BEST SHOW was the only school wearing wireless microphones during their performance…….Oh and speaking of CATS ,what I remember most from seeing the show when it was on Broadway was the Costumes, the Scenic Design, Outstanding vocal performance(signature song Memory), the featured dancer (Magical Mr Mastopholies) and of course the choreography. All of which goes into making an Outstanding Overall Production of CATS. None of which Rye Neck was nominated for……It makes you wonder, what Definition the HSTA is using for the word FAIR?

Just to let you know rye neck ordered their costumes from some special costume place and their set was terrible.
