2018 Empy Nominations

Each year The Empress Theatre honors outstanding performers and volunteers for their contribution to the theater.  The Empress Youth Theatre program gets to give awards in four categories:

Best Performance by a Full Day Student is nominated by the production staff and voted on by those invited to the final dress rehearsal.  It is intended to honor someone whose energetic performance in Singin' in the Rain Jr. stands out, even in a very talented crowd.

Best Performance by a Half Day Student is nominated by the production staff and voted on by those invited to the final dress rehearsal.  It is intended to honor someone whose energetic performance in "Swingin' in the Sun" stands out, even in a very talented crowd.

Best Newcomer to the EYT Program is nominated and voted on by the production staff.  It is intended to honor someone whose personal character on and off stage exemplifies The Empress Theatre mission statement to bring family oriented theatre to Magna and the surrounding communities.

Best Volunteer in the Internship Program is nominated and voted on by the production staff.  It is intended to honor an intern whose contributions to the program exceeded the tasks given by their individual mentor and made a positive difference for the entire production staff.

This year's EMPY Awards will be announced and awarded at the closing night cast party held between the matinee and evening performances on August 11th.  Families are encouraged to attend.  Additionally, the EMPY winners will be honored at the annual Empress Theatre Gala on August 25th.  Tickets to the gala can be purchased at www.EmpressTheatre.com.
