EGUSD students and staff from three high schools captured five awards at the 2012 Elly Awards at the Crest Theatre on Sunday, September 16, 2012.  The Elly Awards, presented by the Sacramento Area Regional Theatre Alliance, honor outstanding achievements of community theaters and artists in the greater Sacramento area.  The Elly Awards are named for Eleanor McClatchy, a devoted patron of the arts.

Elly Awards are given in seven categories: comedy, drama, young people’s musical, young people’s plays, education and original works.  Within the Education category, there are separate subcategories for musicals and nonmusical plays.  The Education category was added to accommodate the growing number of middle and high schools who have become member theaters.  All productions submitted by middle and high schools are judged in this category.
