PDS' Production of Anon(ymous) Wins 2 NJ Theatre Awards

Princeton Day School’s fall 2012 theater production of Anon(ymous) by Naomi Iizuki has won two 2013 New Jersey Theatre Awards: Best Ensemble Performance and Best Director for Artist-in-Residence Stan Cahill.

The performance was nominated for eight awards this year, the first year PDS has participated. 

The production was honored during an awards ceremony at Montclair State University on April 26. The cast and crew attended the Oscar-style ceremony, and both performed scenes from the play during the show and worked backstage with the technicians.

“It was a great evening, and our cast and crew really put their best foot forward," Cahill said. "These awards have put us firmly on the Performing Arts map in front of programs from all over New Jersey."

About 50 private and public schools participated in this statewide competition which honors excellence in high school drama in New Jersey. 

In addition to the two awards, PDS received nominations for Naiyah Ambros ’14 and Jay Mack ’16, for Lead Actor and Actress categories, and Jessica Toltzis ’15, for Best Supporting Actress. In addition, the school received nominations for Best Lighting Design, Best Sound Design and Best Overall Production
