Tune In for Teachers on Tony Night
During the June 11 ceremony, CMU and the Tony Awards will present the 2023 Excellence in Theatre Education Award. One of theatre's unsung heroes — a performing arts teacher from somewhere in the U.S. — will be celebrated, along with the evening's other stars.
In partnership with The Broadway League and the American Theatre Wing, CMU and the Tonys annually recognize an exemplary K-12 theatre teacher selected from a nationwide search. The Excellence in Theatre Education Award winner's work has demonstrated monumental impact on the lives of students, while embodying the highest standards of the profession.
Carnegie Mellon is the exclusive higher education partner of the Tony Awards. The annual Excellence in Theatre Education Award was co-created by the Tonys and CMU and has been presented since 2015.
