Through the partnership with the Tony Awards and Carnegie Mellon University, the Excellence in Theatre Education Award was created to help recognize a K-12 theatre educator in the U.S. who embodies the highest standards of the profession and demonstrates a positive impact on the lives of students, advancement of the theatre profession and a commitment to excellence.
Since the Tony nominations were announced in May, CMU has spoken with many members of the Broadway community to learn why theatre education is important to them and how art can bring people together.
