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.
