Northwest High School Theater Productions Vie for Awards
Northwest's productions of "Any Number Can Die" and "Beauty and the Beast" are nominated by the Cappies for 14 awards.
The Cappies, "Critics and Awards Program," is a program through which high school theater and journalism students are trained as critics, attend shows at other schools, write reviews, and publish those reviews in local media. On May 18, the Cappies will announce the winners of its annual awards program at a gala.
