Stars of Tomorrow
Rochester Broadway Theatre League
Showcasing up to 50 local participating schools annually, Stars of Tomorrow recognizes the high school musical and its performing arts students in Tony® Award fashion.
The program is dedicated to supporting the process of growth and learning, encouraging commitment, discipline and teamwork, and acknowledging excellence. This program made its debut in the Greater Rochester area in 1999, with the main intent of bringing long overdue recognition to the high school musical and its performing arts students.
High schools in Monroe and surrounding counties with fall or spring musical productions are invited to participate in the program. A team of trained and qualified adjudicators evaluates productions, providing students and directors with written feedback and rubric scores in a variety of production areas.
At the annual Stars of Tomorrow Celebration Gala, participating schools have the opportunity to perform a selection from their musical on stage at the Auditorium Theatre. Recognition is given to schools with the highest scores in each of the adjudicated categories, and students are given a chance to shine. Additionally, select students recognized for leading roles at the Stars of Tomorrow Celebration are eligible to compete in Stars of Tomorrow NYC Bound for the chance to represent Rochester, NY, at the National High School Musical Theatre Awards.
