The Sondheim Awards

The Sondheim Awards is Connecticut & Massachusetts' regional awards program in association with the National High School Musical Theatre Awards, celebrating excellence in high school musical theatre.

The Stephen Sondheim Awards aim to connect, cultivate, and celebrate high school musical theater students and educators across Connecticut and Massachusetts. Throughout the year, the Stephen Sondheim Awards offer educational opportunities and individualized feedback to help schools grow their theater programs year after year. This regional program culminates in a Tony Awards-style gala that honors outstanding productions, performances, and participation. It provides the opportunity for students and teachers to come together as a community to celebrate the magic of high school musical theater!

This year's Awards Gala will be on May 17, 2025 at the Shubert Theater in New Haven, CT. Click here for more information about the event and fill out the form below if you'd like to connect with IAMT while we're there!

The Sondheim Awards is presented by our friends at Black Rock Theater, training the next generation of artists in New England and connecting them with Broadways professionals to fuel the future of the arts. You can find out more about them here.
