Broadway Dallas School Awards
This year, The Episcopal School of Dallas has been invited to participate in the Broadway Dallas School Awards—a North Texas version of the Tonys—for their spring musical, Oliver. Adjudicators watch the performance and score the show with an eye for choreography, tech, directing, and performance of roles. If ESD wins an award, our show will move on and be considered for the Jimmy's Award, a regional honor. Individual award winners can also earn scholarship money from this program! The award ceremony will be held on May 2, 2026. Results could include an ESD performance at the ceremony!
