The Montclair State University Theatre Night Awards, which began in 2009, were conceived by Theatre and Dance Department professor Susan Kerner and Mahwah High School teacher JoAnne Fox. They created this event to provide a balance for the popularity of high school musicals celebrated at well-established awards ceremonies in New Jersey and the region. This event is all about fostering a positive, educationally-based community-building experience. It allows students to share their work with peers and receive recognition beyond their own schools.
“We are incredibly proud of our theater departments at Timberlane Middle School and Hopewell Valley Central High School,” said a representative from Hopewell Valley Regional School District. “These awards highlight the hard work, creativity, and passion of our students and staff. Congratulations to everyone involved!”
