The event is a celebration featuring five outstanding high school student productions from the 2019-2020 school year, which were selected from over 30 productions across the city by a panel of professional theater artists and educators. Over the course of the festival’s six-year history, school productions from all five boroughs have performed at the event. On June 15, students will present excerpted scenes and musical numbers from Aida, The Wolves, Fame, Lucky Stiff and Hairspray.
