Kara Family hosts the 29th Annual Ceremony and $132,000 in scholarships! Pittsburgh, PA • May 25, 2019 — A sold-out crowd gathered at the Benedum Center as Pittsburgh CLO and The Michael J. Kara Family honored Allegheny County’s finest high school performers at the 29th Annual Pittsburgh CLO Gene Kelly Awards for Excellence in High School Musical Theater on Saturday, May 25, 2019. Named for legendary performer and Pittsburgh native Gene Kelly, the celebration emphasizes the importance of arts education and rewards the time, energy and dedication that local high schools devote to their musical productions each spring. The ceremony included live ensemble performances by 9 Best Musical nominees, and live performances by 6 Best Actor and 6 Best Actress nominees. Ensembles performed a five- minute selection from their nominated musicals, and Best Actor and Actress nominees performed in character-driven medley groups. Special guest presenters included local television personality WPXI’s David Johnson, WQED’s Nancy Polinsky and Gene Kelly’s widow Patricia Ward Kelly. Pittsburgh CLO's Gene Kelly Awards is the nation's oldest, most comprehensive regional awards program. Patterned on the Tony Awards®, it recognizes excellence in student performances and production, including Execution of Direction, Execution of Choreography, Execution of Music Direction, Best All-Student Orchestra, Scenic Design, Costume Design, Lighting Design, Ensemble and Crew/Technical. Awards are given on three budget levels, ensuring that all schools, whether public and private and no matter their resources, are able to participate. In 2009, Executive Producer and CEO Van Kaplan brought Pittsburgh CLO's Gene Kelly Awards into the national spotlight by co-founding the Jimmy Awards/National High School Musical Theatre Awards, based on its own revered program. Originally, 16 existing regional awards programs participated. Due to the growth in popularity of high school musicals, 43 programs will participate in this year's event and culminating performance on Broadway. Pittsburgh CLO's Gene Kelly Awards presented $132,000 in scholarships, including the following college-bound seniors: Point Park University presented Rhiannon Passmore and Noah Glaister with a scholarship renewable for four years, to attend Point Park University’s Conservatory of Performing Arts. Indiana University of Pennsylvania presented Carly Chotiner with a scholarship to attend IUP. Seton Hill University presented Nina DiBacco, Abigail George, Corissa Saitta and Melina Walko with a scholarship, renewable for four years, to attend Seton Hill University. Gene Kelly Cash Scholarships were awarded to three high school seniors who have applied and were accepted to a school for the performing or technical arts: Zoe Dunay, Allison Joyce and Ava Karas. The Pittsburgh CLO Guild awarded scholarships in the name of Constance T. Rockwell to 10 students who are pursuing a college education in theater arts. These were awarded to: Jake Arvay, Charlotte Bush, Zoe Dunay, Matthew Fedorek, Ava Karas, Tate Mcelhaney, Cecilia Petrush, Ali Ragazzini, Sofia Swenson and Morgan Traud. The Pittsburgh CLO Ambassadors awarded scholarships to two college-bound students who will be pursuing a major outside of the arts: Celaine Hornsby and MacKenzie Pifko. Pittsburgh CLO's Board Chairman, Helen Hanna Casey, awarded a Pittsburgh CLO Family for Life scholarship to Pittsburgh CLO Academy student Zoe Dunay in recognition of her achievements as both a student at the Academy and participation in the Gene Kelly Awards. The Charles Gray Award for Special Achievement in Arts Education was presented to Oblock Junior High School, in recognition of its arts education program. The school has made an enduring commitment to use the Arts to build community and healing, and allow students to actively participate in a legacy of leadership. The school was presented with a cash prize. Now in its 16th year, The Kelly Critics program is a joint partnership between Pittsburgh CLO, Dr. Christopher Rawson and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Dr. Rawson presented the Christopher Rawson Kelly Critics Award.
