North Carolina Theatre Capital Awards

North Carolina Theatre

The NCT Capital Awards is a program designed to recognize outstanding high school musical productions and performances. The Capital Awards is another effort by NCT to advance the performing arts by highlighting the work of the next generation of aspiring young performers. The goal of the program is threefold: Celebrate the work of aspiring young performers in the community, Elevate the importance of performing arts education in community high schools and Perpetuate the community’s support and passion for the performing arts.

Each year, groups of three judges from the Triangle area, selected based on their professional experience in the performing arts and theater education, view the productions and assess them according to the program criteria. In May, a full production with local and national celebrity presenters is staged in Raleigh. Outstanding Musical nominees perform one number from their show as part of the awards production. Each Outstanding Leading Actor and Actress nominated also performs a portion of a song from their performance. The show is produced on a grand scale with black tie presenters and professionally staged numbers.

This year's Capital Awards were held on Monday, May 24, 2010.
