Nominations have just been announced for Music Theatre of Wichita’s Jester Awards for the 2011-12 school year!
During the past nine months, MTWichita judges were invited to review a total of 27 musical theater productions from 25 area schools. The abundant talent shown throughout south central Kansas once again proved to be inspirational and exciting!
Chosen by the American Bus Association as one of the Top 100 Must-See Events in North America, MTWichita presents Broadway stars of today and tomorrow – at a fraction of Broadway prices. Each show includes performers from New York and Hollywood, working hand in hand with gifted Midwestern artists to create fully orchestrated, excitingly staged musical shows – which can only be seen here in Wichita.
Internationally acclaimed for its excellence, MTWichita has created world premieres and cast albums. Former MTWichita alumni are seen in almost every Broadway musical currently playing and most national tours. These talented alums include Kelli O’Hara (South Pacific), Matt Bogart (Jersey Boys) and Emmy and Tony-winner Kristin Chenoweth (Wicked).
We also proudly offer a variety of opportunities for young people – in our productions, in our Apprentice Program, in our Teen Choir, in the Jester Awards program, and with a host of other educational programs which are always expanding.
Please explore all around our web site, and don’t hesitate to call us or email us if you have any questions.
Happy browsing!
