What is Cappies?
What is Cappies, you might ask? Cappies is a nationwide writing program in which high school students watch and critique performances by high school theatre departments in their area. It is also an awards program used to recognize high-achieving shows and individuals with the mission of celebrating high school theatre.
Cappies critics are expected to remain active members of the team throughout the year by seeing shows, submitting reviews, and attending team meetings.
