Teeny Awards

Since 2002, the East End Arts Teeny Awards has celebrated excellence in theater in East End Long Island area high schools.

The 2024 Teeny Awards

  • Sunday, June 9, 2024 at William Floyd High School
  • Ceremony at 3pm, Red Carpet at 1pm

Celebrating the Creativity of Teens

We believe in unleashing the creativity of teens who perform on stage and those that work behind the scenes to make the magic happen. 

We build a community of advocates for the performing arts in high school just as athletic boosters provide support for sports. 

All year long, anonymous volunteer judges with theatre and arts experience attend all high school theatrical performances on the East End to identify the best for nomination in every category.

Students Only

All nominees, performers, technical recognition students, and TASC members can attend the ceremony for FREE but must RSVP to have a seat reserved for them.

Join us for the ceremony opening number! All students are invited to participate, and can sign up below. The schedule of dates is listed within the link below as well.
