More About the Teeny Awards
The Teeny
Awards, conceived from the idea of the Antoinette Perry
Awards � The Tony Awards � for Broadway shows, has been
celebrating excellence in high school theater across the
East End of Long Island since 2002, and is presented and
coordinated by East End Arts. Through the Teeny Awards
program, East End Arts strives to raise the bar on theater
education by encouraging increased attendance and community
pride at school productions, much like school sports
programs. Behind-the-scenes coordination takes place
throughout the school year, as volunteer judges attend all
high school theatrical performances on the East End to
determine the best for nomination, and in June, the winners,
the best of the best, are announced at the Teeny Awards
Ceremony.
