Broadway Stars Celebrate #ApplaudMyTeacher

By Laura Kelly

Behind every great performance is inspiration, and behind that inspiration is a great teacher. Through the partnership with the Tony Awards and Carnegie Mellon University, the Excellence in Theatre Education Award was created to help recognize a K-12 theatre educator in the U.S. who embodies the highest standards of the profession and demonstrates a positive impact on the lives of students, advancement of the theatre profession and a commitment to excellence. This year's Tony nominees and other Broadway stars recognize some of their greatest teachers below.
