Teeny Awards LIVE!

CELEBRATING HIGH SCHOOL THEATER IN ISLIP TOWN

Awards Gala Sunday, June 5, 2022 at East Islip High School, 1 Redmen Street, Islip Terrace, NY
Red Carpet from 5-6pm / Awards Ceremony Begins at 6pm

AFTER 2 YEARS OF DARK STAGES DUE TO COVID, THE TEENY AWARDS GALA IS LIVE ONCE AGAIN!

2022 marks the 14th year of The Teeny Awards...Career Path to Success. This program is Islip Arts Council's High School student recognition program designed to reward performing arts students for their talents. We strive to encourage them to continue their education and pursue careers in performing arts and theater. The Gala is modeled after the Tony Awards.

The mission of the Teeny Awards is to recognize and celebrate the talented theater students in Islip Township, encourage them to pursue their dreams, and to stimulate local interest while developing an understanding of the value of theater education in a well-rounded school curriculum.

The Teeny Awards reflect a commitment by the Islip Arts Council to recognize the high school theater experience as an opportunity for young people to prepare themselves for the world beyond school walls.

The funds contributed through donations and sponsorships are applied to scholarship awards and the administration of this innovative student presentation.
