WHS' 'Bat Boy' Receives Multiple Rising Star Nominations

Matthew Lynn received a nomination for outstanding performance by an actor in a leading role for his work as 'Bat Boy.'

The following is a press release from the Paper Mill Playhouse:

Since their inception in 1996 the Paper Mill Playhouse (Mark S. Hoebee-Artistic Director, Todd Schmidt-Managing Director) Rising Star Awards for Excellence in High School Musical Theatre have ignited the careers of many notable performers, all of whom attended high school in New Jersey.  Among the early nominees and winners are Academy Award® winner Anne Hathaway, Tony® Award winners Laura Benanti and Nikki M. James, and current 2013 Tony® nominee, Rob McClure.  The 2013 Paper Mill Playhouse Rising Star Awards Ceremony presented by the Investors Foundation will take place at Paper Mill Playhouse Tuesday, June 4th at 7:30pm.

“There is great energy and level of excitement in high school musical theater right now,” commented Mark S. HoebeePaper Mill Playhouse’s Producing Artistic Director. “Due to television programs like Fox’s Glee and NBC’s Smash, there is a new, invigorated interest and enthusiasm surrounding these projects. The culmination for many New Jersey high schools is the prestigious honor of a Paper Mill Playhouse Rising Star nomination and we are proud to present these awards to New Jersey schools. Additionally, many of Paper Mill Playhouse's Rising Star nominees and winners are now working professionally and have also been nominees or winners of several prestigious industry awards while on Broadway or making films.”

The Paper Mill Playhouse Rising Star Awards presented by the Investors Foundation are modeled after the Tony® Awards and Paper Mill Playhouse's program serves the entire state of New Jersey with nearly 100 entered productions from public, private and parochial high schools. Paper Mill Playhouse conceived and created the awards in 1996 to give schools the opportunity to showcase their musical arts programs on a state level. The musicals are adjudicated by Paper Mill Playhouse throughout the spring by a group of 70 Evaluators, with each school receiving four independent evaluations. The 2013 Paper Mill Playhouse Rising Star Awards ceremony is set for Tuesday, June 4th at the Millburn theater.  Schools nominated for ‘Outstanding Overall Musical’ and ‘Leading Actor/Actress’ nominees perform at the event and award recipients are presented with an engraved crystal award from  Tiffany & Co.

"I am joined by my colleagues on the board of the Investors Foundation in applauding the outstanding work of the Paper Mill Playhouse," said Investors Bank President and CEO Kevin Cummings.  "We are proud to continue our support of the Rising Star Awards program, now in its 18th year, and to help the playhouse recognize the performing arts talents of New Jersey's students and educators."

Paper Mill Director of Education Lisa Cooney, "What's happening in high school musical productions here in New Jersey and around the country is remarkable. Programs like the Paper Mill Playhouse Rising Star Awards raise the bar and create opportunities for student performers and theatre technicians to be recognized for their achievements, while giving them access to thousands of dollars in scholarship money.  We consistently hear from top tier colleges and casting directors that the Paper Mill Playhouse Rising Star Award is a significant accolade for an aspiring theatre artist.” 

Paper Mill Playhouse also awards $5,000 in scholarships at the Paper Mill Playhouse Rising Star Awards presented by the Investors Foundation.  Four $1,000 cash scholarships are given to outstanding individual students who plan to continue studying theatre in college, and a technical theatre scholarship of $1,000 is sponsored annually by Scaramouche Costumes, LLC.  Paper Mill Playhouse is pleased to announce that a prize of $500 will be given to a school receiving the 2013 Educational Impact Award which acknowledges a school that successfully connects the musical to the district's curriculum, using the production as a teaching tool for the greater student body and local community. Through the Rising Star “Theatre for Everyone” Inclusion & Access Award and a partnership with VSA New Jersey and The Cultural Access Network of New Jersey, a project of the New Jersey Theatre Alliance and the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, Paper Mill Playhouse will present a cash award of $1,000 to a school to recognize excellence in the promotion and practice of creative inclusion of students and adults with disabilities as performers, designers, musicians and production staff. Additionally, this award also seeks to recognize and reward a school that takes steps to ensure their performances are accessible to audiences with disabilities.

Lastly, students receiving final nominations in the lead and supporting acting categories receive a scholarship to Paper Mill Playhouse's competitive Summer Musical Theatre Conservatory, a professional training program, which along with advanced classes in singing, acting and dance, offers the nominees an opportunity to perform on the stage at Paper Mill Playhouse in our season finale concert, "New Voices of 2013: Swing Awakening: a celebration of standards and jazz hits that are the soul and heart of musical theatre” on August 2nd and 3rd. 

Among the top nominated high schools, Summit High School leads with 15 nominations, followed by Union High School with 14, Bergen County Academies with 11, Fair Lawn High School with 8 and Gill St. Bernard’s School and Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School with 7 nominations each.

Rising Star scholarships are made possible by John Burgio & Ruth Bedford in Memory of Jane Burgio, Scaramouche Costumes LLC, Douglas Michael Krueger Scholarship Fund Trust, VSA New Jersey, and the Cultural Access Network of New Jersey.
