10th Annual Teeny Awards Nominations Announced
Presented by East End Arts
(RIVERHEAD, NY, May 2, 2012) – East End Arts is thrilled to announce the 2012 Teeny Awards Nominees. Theatrical productions presented by the 15 participating East End high schools have been attended and reviewed by a panel of volunteer judges. Evaluations of student performances were based on skills demonstrated in Movement (physical expression, gesture, posture, fluidity), Delivery (projection, articulation, interaction, timing, expression), and Stage Presence (confident, believable, enthusiastic, charismatic, dynamic). Evaluations of performances in Musical Productions also include skills in Singing (intonation, range, interpretation, phrasing, rhythm, articulation, ensemble work) and Dancing (technique, fluidity, expression, gesture, ensemble work). The Teeny Awards, conceived from the idea of the Antoinette Perry Awards – The Tony Awards – for Broadway shows, has been celebrating excellence in high school theater across the East End of Long Island since 2002, and is presented and coordinated by East End Arts.
The top five scoring students are the nominees. A formal awards ceremony is scheduled for Sunday, June 10, 2012 at Eastport-South Manor High School, hosted by award-winning broadcaster, producer, host and interviewer, Bonnie Grice, during which the winners will be announced. With support from the East End business community, award winners will receive trophies. The 10th Annual Teeny Awards ceremony is open to the public. Tickets may be purchased at East End Arts’ website: http://eastendarts.org/education/teeny.html. Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for students.
