4/25/2017

Archmere's fall play production of A Christmas Carol earned ten Cappies nominations by the Cappies Program for Awards for the 2016-2017 season. This is the most nominations ever received for Archmere. Five Nominees are selected in each of 35 categories, along with four Commendees per school. At the end of the year, the Cappie Awards are presented by local V.I.P.s at a Cappies Gala. This year, the Philadelphia area Cappies Gala will be held on Sunday, May 21st at Unionville High School.

At the Cappies Gala, a "Tonys-like celebration", all nominated shows perform a cutting or the critics' choice song, and the final Cappies awards are presented.
