CAPPIES

What is Cappies?

A program through which high school theatre and journalism students are trained as critics, attend shows at other schools, and write and publish reviews in local newspapers like the Washington Post.  At the end of the year, student critics vote for awards that are presented at a formal Cappies Gala.
