Arty Awards plan to amaze for the 32nd year

This year, the people behind Armijo High School’s productions of Almost Maine and Lucky Stiff will be anxiously waiting for the announcements of the winners in several categories. Those announcements will take place on Sunday, September 17 and Armijo Drama teacher Sheena Beeson couldn’t be more excited.

The two productions were both nominated as Outstanding Productions in High School Comedy or Drama (Almost Maine) and High School Musical (Lucky Stiff).

Beeson was nominated for awards in Lighting Design in both productions. In the first production, she and Mr. Derek Clawson were nominated for awards in Set Design and Directing. Clawson also received a nomination for Set Design in Lucky Stiff.

In Lucky Stiff, Beeson received nominations for Costume design, which she shared with Kayla Aguira. She also was nominated in two other categories for that production: Choreography and Directing. Both Meleena Low and Jade Walker were nominated for a Lead Actress award in that production. Antoine Hunter was nominated as Lead Actor while Avion Taito received a nomination for Supporting Actor.
