Ocean State Star Awards

The Providence Performing Arts Center will present a Tony Awards inspired showcase in our theatre honoring schools and students for artistic excellence in musical theatre. This event will be a tribute to the enthusiasm, dedication, and accomplishments of Rhode Island's high school musical theatre programs. Participants have the opportunity to receive awards, scholarships, and perform on the PPAC stage as a part of that evening's program. Students, faculty, administrators, and staff from participating high schools are encouraged to promote and attend the awards showcase. A male and female lead will be selected to participate in the 2023 National High School Musical Theatre Awards (The Jimmy Awards) in New York City at the end of June 2023, all expenses paid.
