2010 Awards  |  2010 Additional Nominees  |  Previous National Youth Theatre Awards  | RSVP  | Donations

The award winners were selected from nominations by a panel of eighteen judges and reviewers. In addition to the youth who performed in the youth theatre companies, anyone age 18 and under who performed at a show reviewed by a National Youth Theatre judge was also considered for the awards, as well as the adults who participated in the youth theatre productions backstage (directors, set designers, costume designers, etc.) and a limited number of guest adult actors in professional theatre for youth. Thank you all for your incredible work and all the unforgettable entertainment over the past year!

The winners will be formally presented with their awards at a ceremony honoring their accomplishments in different regions of the country including one in San Diego, one for Southern California to be held in Huntington Beach, one in Northern California to be held in Napa, one in Phoenix for the Western half of the country excluding California, and one in New York City for the Eastern half of the country. 

Due to an early award ceremony in San Diego, we are currently only listing the awards for San Diego County. The rest will go up shortly. Award winners are listed below by the area of the country in which they performed. If you can't make it to your ceremony, you might be able to attend one of the other ceremonies if you wish.
