About the Jester Awards Program
For over two decades, the Jester Awards, presented by Music Theatre Wichita, have celebrated excellence in Kansas high school musical theatre. Dedicated judges recognize the hard work and creativity of students and faculty statewide, from Wichita to Garden City and beyond. This program, honoring casts, crews, directors, and designers, is made possible by the legacy of Belden and Anna Mills, through the Lois K. Walls Jester Fund at MTWichita and the Naftzger Fund for Fine Arts.
