In March, the Chaminade Players dazzled audiences at the Tutor Family Center for the Performing Arts with their performance of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. Three months later they gathered at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre for the Jerry Herman High School Musical Theatre Awards of Los Angeles, and were honored with the following four awards:
Best Musical – Beauty and the Beast
Best Performance – Gaston
Best Supporting Actor in a Musical – Joel Loth ’15 (Gaston)
Best Supporting Actress in a Musical – Gracie Jurczyk ’17 (Mrs. Potts)
Best High School Production Ever!!!!!!!
A wonderful & well deserved recognition for Yvette, Mike, and all the Chaminade Players on and off the stage! Congrats everyone!
That was a fun atmosphere last night. All the High Schools were great, but of course it was particularly fun to see the Chaminade Players receive so many accolades, and take home the big prize. Congrats to everyone.
Oh what a night! The energy at the Pantages was wonderful. So many gifted young men and women from all the schools had the theatre buzzing with enthusiasm and passion for, and display of, the arts. When our own Chaminade players performed , it was truly amazing and to then win the Prestigious Jerry Herman Awards was breathtaking. Yvette Bishop has created an atmosphere which inspires our kids to bring out the best they have and to develop into magnificent performers. What an incredible, magical evening it was!
