AriZonis Honor Youth Theater
- Raising Arizona Kids

"I’ve never met a young actor who performs primarily to win theater awards. They’re more into the fun, the friendship, the focus on song and dance. But I know quite a few who are thrilled when their work is recognized with a nomination or award.

The AriZoni Theatre Awards of Excellence ceremony for the 2009-2010 season will be held Mon, Sept. 20–and recognize achievements within several categories: contracted musicals, contracted plays, non-contracted plays and musicals, youth and original works."

"Five of the nine guest actor/musical nominees worked with Musical Theatre of Anthem."
