WATCH THE WORLD PREMIERE LIVE ON YOUTUBE AT 7:30PM

RELIVE THE MAGIC

While we can’t celebrate this year’s accomplishments of our participating schools, students, educators, parents, and supporters in person, we will certainly still be together. Join us for a virtual extravaganza on May 31st, and we hope you’ll celebrate with your own red carpet at home! Our artistic team has been working tirelessly with Austin creatives, Broadway & industry names, Long Center’s Select Ensemble, and countless other students to bring you an evening just as memorable.

This virtual ceremony will be hosted by Donelvan Thigpen, a graduate of Cedar Park High School and Cincinnati Conservatory of Music Theatre. He was a Select Ensemble member in 2014 when he was also nominated for Best Actor in a leading role. He is hosting the show from Las Vegas, where he plays Prince in Purple Reign.
