Ocean State Star Awards 2026

The Ocean State Star Awards is part of the Providence Performing Arts Center’s Education initiative which recognizes, honors and encourages excellence in all aspects of musical theatre performance and production among high schools in Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts. Musicals of participating schools are reviewed by a panel of industry professionals. Based on tabulations, productions and individuals receive awards in specific categories at a ceremony that will be held each year at the Providence Performing Arts Center in the late Spring. Our panel of judges will select one male and one female Ocean State Star Awards winner to represent the state of Rhode Island in the National High School Musical Theatre Awards® competition held in New York City at the end of June.
