And The Tommy Tune Award Goes To.......

The Tommy Tune Awards — the Tonys for local high schools — were presented last night.

Among the nominees were schools from all over the area, presenting a pretty wide variety of plays. The big winners last night were Stratford High’s production of Barnum and Seven Lakes High’s production of Once Upon a Mattress.

We’d like to read mindless chatter off a cue card while standing next to a starlet, but enough of that — who won the damn things?
