SARATOGA SPRINGS — The Collaborative School of the Arts at Proctors Theatre has recently announced the winners of their annual High School Musical Theatre Awards (HSMTA) in partnership with the Broadway League, presented by the Times Union. This program celebrates the achievements of the region’s theatre students, highlighting the importance of musical theatre and arts education in the greater Capital Region of New York State.
During the spring musical season, schools are adjudicated by a panel of educators, theatre experts and industry professionals in nine performance or technical categories. When all of the evaluations have been completed, scores are tabulated and certified. The highest score determines the winner in each category and winners are announced during the awards ceremony. This year, a Saratoga High senior, Spencer Boyce, was crowned “Best Actor” for his role of the Baker in Into the Woods. SSHS’ production also landed them “Best Ensemble” and “Best Musical Tier A” as a group.
