We are proud to introduce a Scholarship contest aimed at discovering and supporting high school musical theater students in South Carolina.
The public final round will be held at the Governor’s School for Arts and Humanities on August 9 and will open with a performance by TONY-winner Celia Keenan Bolger and TONY-Nominee John Ellison Conlee, and then the 12 finalists will perform and receive public feedback from John and Celia as well as from Broadway Casting Director, Merri Sugarman.
The top three contestants will be awarded scholarships to further their theater education: 1st Place $5,000, 2nd Place $2,500, 3rd Place $1,000. The scholarship funds can be applied to tuition, application fees, travel expenses for theater programs, or private acting lessons and workshops.
