The Metropolitan High School Theater Awards were created in 1998 to shine a spotlight on the exceptional musical theater productions, talented actors and actresses, and devoted creative teams who take to the stage every spring in the local high schools of Rockland and Westchester Counties in New York and Bergen County in New Jersey.

This year’s awards will be presented on June 2 at Archbishop Stepinac High School in White Plains. As part of their Outstanding Overall Production, the Harrison High School cast will perform a number from A Chorus Line one final time.
