Los Al Drama goes to the MACY Awards!

On Sunday, June 1, 2014, the cast and crew of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee attended the 44th Annual MACY (Music and Art Commendation for Youth), which is a So CA high school musical theatre awards ceremony at the Segerstrom Performing Arts Center.  The board, who came to see our show in February, saw over 40 shows in Orange County.  Today, our awesome students received the following awards:  

Alejandro Brewer- Bright Spot medal

Michael Schultz- Special Recognition medal

Courtney Manley- Special Recognition medal

Travis Baker- Achievement medal

Bridget DeMaria- Achievement medal

Alonso Law- Achievement medal

Katie Gerdts- Outstanding Achievement trophy

Sydney DeMaria- Outstanding Achievement trophy

Ryan Rogers- Highest Achievement trophy

Ryan Rogers- Final nominee for Best Comedian in a Musical

 

And....the production won the "Heart and Soul" trophy.  The awards states: The Heart and Soul Award goes to a musical production in a small theatre setting with scarce scenery and lighting but with wonderful characters and voices with large heart and soul.

 

There are VERY few schools whose entire cast walked away with recognition from the MACY's panel, and these amazing students are over the moon with their recognition for their amazing production.
