PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- And the 2024 Gene Kelly Award nominees are ...

The Gene Kelly Awards for Excellence in High School Musical Theater were launched in 1991.

"Since its beginning in 1991, the Gene Kelly Awards recognize the incredible talent of thousands of students across Allegheny County," Executive Producer Mark Fleischer said. "The Awards recognize not only the artistic talent of these students, but also celebrate their dedication to their communities and schools, both on stage and behind-the-scenes."

The awards show will be held at the Benedum Center on Saturday, May 25, 2024 at  7:30 p.m.  Good luck to all those nominated! For more information, visit Pittsburgh CLO's Gene Kelly Awards section.
