"This is a huge deal for us!" exclaimed CHS Drama Sponsor Sierra Horst as she announced their recent musical "Between the Lines" had garnered seven nominations for the 2026 Ken Page Awards. 

The Ken Page Awards is an annual celebration of outstanding achievement in high school musical theatre in the Saint Louis region (formally known as the St. Louis High School Musical Theatre Awards).  Ken Page was a celebrated actor and singer from St. Louis.

Produced by the Fox Performing Arts Charitable Foundation, The Muny, and the Fabulous Fox, participating high schools’ musical productions are evaluated throughout the school year by a panel of theatre professionals. The year-long adjudication process culminates in an awards ceremony modeled on the Tony Awards©. This year's nominations and awards will be celebrated on May 28, 2026, at the Fabulous Fox.

The St. Louis based awards are a regional chapter of the National High School Musical Theatre Awards (NHSMTA). 

“Being nominated for seven awards is incredible for us. We started this show in January and put hundreds of hours into it. To see the fruits of our labor come to life is so cool! I can’t even begin to explain how proud I am of all 67 students who put work into this show,” said Horst.
