KENNY AWARDS
The Lipke Foundation and Shea's Performing Arts Center are proud to present The Kenny Awards, an endeavor that recognizes the talent, dedication and efforts of our local high school youth. All high schools in Erie and Niagara counties are invited to apply to the program.

Over 100 outstanding musical productions from local high schools have been recognized and honored by the Kenny Awards. The school selected to receive "The Kenny" for Outstanding Musical Production is granted $5,000 from the Lipke Foundation to be used for their theatre department. Other awards and recognitions include categories for individual performances in leading and supporting roles as well as areas of technical production, orchestration, choreography, set design and creative interpretation.

The 2010 Kenny Ceremony will take place on Saturday, May 15 at 4pm.
