MHS students compete for Gammage high school theater awards

Adjudicators from Arizona State University Gammage came to see “Beauty and the Beast,” the Mariciopa High School Theatre Company’s spring musical. With this adjudication, the students and the department are competing for Outstanding Musical at the Gammage High School Musical Theatre Awards, to take place on June 3 at 7 p.m. at Gammage Auditorium at ASU.

“Not only are we competing as a company for our whole musical, but students were nominated in their particular roles,” theater instructor Cyndi Calhoun said.

MHS Nominees:
Best Lead Male – Carlos O. Venegas (Beast)
Best Lead Female – Lillian Chitwood (Belle)
Best Supporting Male – Nikolas Mase (Lumiere)
Best Supporting Female – Brook Perona (Wardrobe)
Outstanding Dancer – Chaienne Zoller
Outstanding Vocalist – Carlos O. Venegas

The Best Lead Male and Female from Gammage’s Awards night will have the opportunity to travel to New York City this summer and compete in the 2017 Jimmy Awards (the high school version of the Tony Awards).

“Even though the event is general seating, the event is definitely a red carpet affair,” Calhoun said. “Please wish the following students ‘break a leg’ when you see them.”
