Archmere's Production of "The Addams Family" Earns Eight Cappies Nominations

4/23/2019

Archmere's winter musical production of The Addams Family earned eight Cappies nominations by the Cappies Program for Awards for the 2018-2019 season. This is the most nominations ever received for an Archmere musical. 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 19th 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. Student escorts bring the presenters (elected officials, school superintendents, and Cappies alums) to give the Cappies trophy to the peer- chosen recipients, filling the venue with cheers and supportive applause.
