A second event is their participation in the Utah High School Musical Theatre Awards. SJCHS is presenting the musical, “The Pajama Game” this March. If there are performers who are worthy of a nomination for an award, recommendations will be made to the Utah Festival Opera. All of the nominated actors/ actresses will then perform in the Utah High School Theatre Awards event on April 30, 2011 at the Kent Concert Hall at Utah State University in Logan. From this event, one actor and one actress will be chosen to go on to the National High School Musical Theatre Awards in New York from June 22 through June 28, 2011. While in New York City, participants will experience five days of private coaching, master classes, and rehearsals with theater professionals. Their week’s journey concludes with a panel of industry experts selecting exceptional students for The Jimmy™ for Best Performance by an Actress and Actor. Students will receive opportunities for merit scholarships, professional advancement, and other prizes. Teachers at SJCHS are working very hard to prepare the students for the adjudication in March. In addition to these events, enough money was raised through two great fundraisers, both of which were organized and initiated by SJCHS’s Parent Group. The first event was a previously held Dew Tour record. “Utah is absolutely fantastic, and the crowds have exceeded our expectations once again,” said Chris Prybylo, General Manager of the Dew Tour. “We have great support from the Utah Sports Commission, who recruited the Summer and Winter Dew Tours to Utah, and the fans, local government, venues and the community are terrific. We are happy to be in Utah.” For more information, visit <www.
