The Utah High School Musical Theater Awards is a scholarship program that is designed to reward excellence in theater arts at the high school level. Last year representatives from Utah Festival Opera traveled around the state adjudicating high school productions. Nominated schools and artists will perform and winners will be announced at the awards ceremony on April 30.
