What is Cappies?
Through the Cappies, high school theater and journalism students are trained as theater critics. They attend shows at each other’s schools, after which they write reviews of those shows under the guidance of teacher-mentors. The mentors select the top reviews for publication in local media. At the end of the school year, in each program, critics serve as judges for "Cappie" nominations and awards that are presented in a Cappies Gala. During the summer, top Cappie winners from throughout the U.S. and Canada form the company of Cappies International Theater, in Washington, D.C., where they present original plays and, this year, a new student-written musical. Our chapter is known as the “Cappies of Greater Cincinnati.” 29 schools currently participate in our Cappies chapter.
