Musical Theatre Awards

Desert Christian High School competes in the National High School Musical Theatre Awards, locally known as the Monte Awards. Each year the shows are adjudicated by a panel of judges. Students then compete against others in front of a live audience and another panel of judges at the Monte Awards Show. Other awards are also given out that evening for best show. The male and female who wins Best Actor and Actress from the evening travel to New York City to compete against students from across the country.
