Prescott Park Arts Festival celebrates!!! Last night, Portsmouth gave Prescott Park Arts Festival multiple nods of excellence with Spotlight Awards for each nomination during the 14th annual award ceremony produced by Spotlight Magazine. The awards were: - Best Musical, The Sound of Music
- Best Musical Director, David Kaye, The Sound of Music
- Best Actress Musical, Tara Conway, Maria, The Sound of Music
As one of our dedicated gatekeepers wrote in:
"Congratulations. We all knew last year when we were working that we were seeing something special."
The overwhelming response we had last summer around The Sound of Music was incredible. And, we're busy working at full force to build another great season. This summer, you'll find the well-loved Beauty and the Beast on our mainstage, in addition to a variety of music festivals, dance, and concerts.
Our signature musical event will again be directed by David Kaye who has already recruited a solid cast for another great summer.
Based on the Academy Award winning animated feature, the stage version of Disney's Beauty and the Beast includes all the wonderful songs from the film, plus new songs written especially for the Broadway version.
Thanks to the Portsmouth community for their support, honoring our volunteer organization with these awards, and helping to keep this 34-year tradition alive and well.
