Shakespeare Awards Winners for 2025

The 27th Annual Shakespeare Awards for Excellence in Acting

We had our version of the Tony Awards and celebrated acting achievements in 2025. We opened with the cast of More Than Anything singing “More Than Anything’. Awards were handed out by our staff and alumni and speeches were made. Everyone got dressed up. Seniors got to re-live some of their performances in our Senior Salute. We closed with the Singin’ Bohemians leading everyone in singing ‘Seasons of Love’ from Rent.

These are the links to the videos we premiered at the ceremony.
