“The Sondheim Awards are more than an awards night. The Sondheim's is a program that allows students and educators to grow within the high school musical world. The program gives the opportunity for students to learn from industry professionals, but most importantly allows them to meet peers outside of their own high school. The Sondheim's is a celebration; it isn't about who wins or loses. It is about bringing our students together to honor their outstanding work in musical theater.” - Justin Zenchuk, Shelton High School
