HERSHEY THEATRE APOLLO AWARDS 2026
Congratulations to ALL for an incredible season! Anne of Green Gables and Anastasia were incredible productions built on hard work, dedication, and respect. Your efforts have meant so much to your community, and the stories you told so well have received incredible recognition.
A limited number of students from the ANASTASIA cast will have the opportunity to perform at the 2026 Apollo Awards on Sunday, May 17. The number of students is determined by the Apollo Awards Staff.

CAMP COUNSELOR SIGN UPS
Spaces are filling up quickly for GOLD STAR THEATRE CAMP! Aug. 3-7, 2026
THIS YEAR’S SHOW: STAR POWER!
In a galaxy obsessed with fame, flashy personas, and Cosmic Ray’s coveted “Yes Way,” a scrappy band called The Red Giants dreams of being discovered. When an unexpected opportunity puts them on the path to superstardom, they’re tempted to trade their true selves for dramatic makeovers, capes, and carefully crafted personas. As ambition pulls them apart and loyalty is put to the test, the band must decide what matters more: chasing fame, or staying true to the friendships that made their music special in the first place.
