CELEBRATE HIGH SCHOOL THEATRE

The Cappies Critics and Awards Program strives to recognize the Orange County student writers, performers, and technical crews. High school theatre students who participate in the Cappies program are trained as critics, attend shows at other schools, and write reviews. The top three reviews from each show are published online.

At the end of the school year, the student critics vote to give awards to their fellow students for outstanding productions, group and individual performances, and achievements in technical categories. The critics vie for the Best Critic and Best Critic Team Award. Awards are presented at the annual Cappies Gala at the The National City Grove of Anaheim.

ORANGE COUNTY CAPPIES

CAPPIES GALA

At the end of the year, all the work that Cappies have put in culminates at the Gala, where awards are given and performances happen. Additionally, all Cappies are brought on stage and recognized for their work throughout the season. Awards are given to schools for their performances, including Irvine, but they are also given to individual Cappies and Cappies teams for excellence in their reviews and discussions.

Save the Date!

The Gala will be taking place this year at the City National Grove of Anaheim on Tuesday, May 20th

2200 E Katella Ave, Anaheim, CA 92806

Cappies is an enriching program that anyone can benefit from, no matter their goals. Cappies teams go to see productions at other schools & critique them-- this exposure will improve you as a performer and as a writer, too. You will also meet many other Cappies Critics, all with unique ideas and perspectives.
