State Theatre Center for the Arts Seeking 2018 FREDDY Awards Evaluators
The State Theatre Center for the Arts, Inc. is seeking qualified volunteer Evaluators for their Emmy Award-winning FREDDY Awards program which awards excellence in the production of high school musical theatre. Deadline for applications is Friday, September 29th.
Introduced in 2003, the program sends Evaluators to review each of the approximately 30 high school musical productions entered throughout Lehigh and Northampton Counties in PA, and in Warren County, NJ. Evaluators will be expected to attend at least 14 shows during the season and must submit evaluation forms which cover 21 performance and production categories (i.e. Outstanding Performance by an Actor/Actress in a Leading Role, Outstanding Use of Scenery). Nominations are announced in early May and followed in late May with a TONY Awards style ceremony at the State Theatre where nominees perform and award recipients are announced and presented with a FREDDY Award.
2018 marks the 16th Anniversary of the FREDDY Awards program. The 2018 Ceremony will be broadcast live on 69.1 WFMZ-TV, Thursday, May 24th at 7 PM.
We are looking for candidates who have extensive work experience in one of the arts disciplines and have a strong sense of objectivity. They must be able to effectively evaluate student performances and production values. All candidates must be outstanding writers with the ability to effectively communicate their impressions in a constructive manner. Also, a candidate must already be an avid theatre-goer and should possess a wide knowledge of the canon of the American Musical Theatre.
2018 FREDDY Evaluator Description and Application (attached) are available at www.freddyawards.org.
The deadline for submitting the 2018 Freddy Award evaluator application is Friday, September 29, 2018. Interviews for qualified individuals will be scheduled during the month of October.
For questions, contact Frank Kutch, FREDDY Awards Coordinator at fkutch@statetheatre.org, or call 610-258-7766 x202.
