The Cappie nominees were announced on Friday, May 4th, and SVUSD students garnered 23 nominations. The winners will be announced at the Cappie Gala which will be held on May 20th, at The Grove in Anaheim.
The Cappies is a critics/writing program. Orange County schools have teams of 9 critics that visit other Orange County high schools to watch and review their performing arts plays and musicals. The top writers are published weekly in the OC Register. The critics then nominate, and award, both plays and musicals for the year.
