The Cappies, "Critics and Awards Program," is a program through which high school theater and journalism students are trained as critics, attend shows at other schools, write reviews, and publish those reviews in local newspapers such as The Washington Post, Cincinnati Enquirer, Dallas Morning News, Kansas City Star, and The Philadelphia Inquirer. The Cappies program brought over 50 students from the Greater Philadelphia area to Archmere this past weekend to review the winter musical production on closing night.
In this program, the students each write a review, and the best reviews are published on the Philadelphia Inquirer WordPress site. Archmere has been a part of the Philadelphia Cappies program for the past ten years, and the school's depiction of Matilda received rave reviews.
Archmere had a very successful run of the winter musical production of Roald Dahl's Matilda, the last musical to take to the stage in the Archmere Performing Arts Center before it closes for renovation.The Cappies critics will vote for awards on April 28th. Congratulations to the entire cast and crew of Matilda!
