CAPPIES is an international program through which high school theater and journalism students are trained as critics, attend shows at other schools, and write reviews. Up to 35 student critics arrive to sit together and review the show. Before the show, during intermission, and after the show, teacher-mentors lead critic discussions. All reviews are then sent to the school, with the top 2 reviews being published in local newspapers, like the Orange County Register. At the end of the year, the student critics vote for awards that are presented at a formal CAPPIES Gala.
