2024 Mamma Mia! Production receives Marquee Award

The Performing Arts Program at Fairfield Union High School recently participated in the CAPA Marquee Awards Program (Columbus Association for the Performing Arts). CAPA is committed to celebrating, supporting, and advocating for high school musical theatre education throughout central Ohio. Schools that elect to participate have their musical theatre performances adjudicated and are eligible for 13 awards. This year, Fairfield Union is one of 23 central Ohio Schools to participate in the Marquee Awards. Each night of the performance, three adjudicators from the CAPA Marquee Awards program attend a performance of each school's qualifying production to evaluate individual performances, group performances, and technical aspects of the show. Schools then receive valuable written feedback from each of the judges to the production cast, crew, and creative team.

This year, Fairfield Union High School Musical Theatre Department proudly accepted for their spring performance, Mamma Mia! the CAPA Marquee Award for "Outstanding Technical Execution". Technical execution evaluates several aspects of the show, including the pacing of the performance, quick and seamless transitions between scenes, lighting design for the show, and sound (mics) being clear and heard by the audience, So many aspects need to come together in addition to the actors parts in order to make a show go well. This award credits all those technical parts that continue to make Fairfield Union High School Musical performances outstanding.

Accepting the award on behalf of the FUHS Musical Theatre department were:

Front row, L to R: Addison Fey, Ruthie Bailey, Allison Freeland, Matthew Gregory (teacher), David Duffey, Nicholas Henwood

Back row L to R: Morgan Belville, Audrey Barr, Korah Duemmel, Katelyn McMahon, Samantha Sattler, Jonah Squiers, Joshuan Henwood, Natalie Conrad and Jocelyn Barnecut
