Local school theatre club joins awards showcase
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — Springfield High School's theatre club is joining a local theater showcase.
According to a press release, the club has joined the Miami Valley High School Theater Awards (MVHSTA) program, representing the district for the very first time.
The 'Wildcat Theatre' cast and crew will perform 'The Addams Family,' from Apr. 24 to 26, which the MVHSTA will judge ahead of their award show in June.
The program is expected to give out over 600 awards at the 2025 awards and showcase event on June 5. They will announce the winners in May out of a total pool of 39 high schools throughout the Miami Valley, including Butler High School, Chaminade Julienne High School, Stivers School for the Arts and more.
The program has celebrated high school plays, musicals, students and educators in the area since 2018. During the awards show, winning schools are invited to perform songs from productions they produce.
The 2025 awards will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the Schuster Center.
Each year, we've welcomed both theatre veterans and new performers. Thanks to the enthusiasm and commitment of our students, this year we produced a theatre season that is ready for competition! Our students are so excited to participate in the wider theatre community of Miami Valley schools through our musical, The Addams Family. This is just one step in the continued growth of our program that will hopefully include more shows, more community outreach, and more student-led projects.

'Pastime' will premiere at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force Theatre this Saturday, June 14. The film is described as a romantic comedy and character study film meant for all ages to enjoy. LIST: Pride Month events in the Miami Valley 'The synopsis of the story encompasses an enduring summer romance that lasts for a while and fell apart,' said Corinthian Campbell, 'Pastime' writer and director. 'The main character is battling with the concept of what is love, is it a pastime, passion to some people? What is it?' Campbell worked to include several Dayton area locations to make his work more attractive to locals, as well as help promote the film culture in the Miami Valley. Saturday's event is more than just watching the film, it's the World Premiere Red Carpet Screening. 'It is kind of a red carpet event for cast and crew,' said Johnny Catalano, associate producer on the film. 'It's absolutely open to the public. It's a really fun night out to see a film you would not see at multiplex theaters.' Tickets cost $15. Click here to learn more. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
