(Riverhead, NY) East End Arts’ Teeny Awards Judging Committee is seeking qualified volunteers for evaluating high school theatrical performances on the East End for the 2013-2014 academic year. The Teeny Awards is a high school theater recognition program, founded and run by East End Arts since 2002. The program, now entering its 12th year, recognizes and celebrates talented theater students across the East End of Long Island. The judges are a very important component of the Teeny Awards as they adjudicate all performances and determine the most outstanding performances to receive the highest honor: a Teeny Award.
“Ideal candidates have background, experience, or a strong appreciation for theater and will be committed to seeing as many shows as they can throughout the school year,” said Anita Boyer, Teeny Awards Coordinator. “This is an important job and an excellent opportunity to be part of this program! I look forward to welcoming back veteran judges and inviting new judges this year; the more eyes we have on the shows the stronger our program can be.”
Judges will be selected based on experience and knowledge of theatre. Judges attend a minimum of four high school productions anonymously and adjudicate students with the use of an evaluation tool based on the academic rubric. Orientation is provided. Theatrical performances take place at 17 high schools in eastern Suffolk County. All judges are invited to the gala awards ceremony in June 2014. The first meeting for Teeny Awards judges will be held on Wednesday, October 9 from 6:30 PM to 8 PM at the East End Arts Carriage House, located behind the Gallery at 133 E. Main Street, Riverhead NY. Those interested in judging are encouraged to attend.
