The Hult High School Musical Theatre Awards celebrates and honors the extraordinary work of students and educators across the state.” Said Jen Cumberworth, Director of Community & Creative Learning. “This program connects young performers to remarkable opportunities, valuable tools, and unforgettable experiences.
