The 22nd Annual Isaac Awards for High School Musicals will be held Saturday and Sunday, May 29 and 30, 2027, 7:30 p.m. at Altoona’s historic Mishler Theatre.

One thing that has become clear through the Isaac Awards is the extent to which musical theatre students from different schools support each other. To encourage that support, we are posting the schedule of participating musicals in the hope that students will attend productions other than their own.

Due to the number of high schools that wanted to participate in the Isaac Awards, we expanded to two nights in 2017. Each night has their own set of judges and their own set of awards.
