"Since it's beginning in 1991, the Kelly Awards has recognized the incredible talent of students across Allegheny County," said Executive Producer Mark Fleischer.

In a time when we need the arts the most, they have found news ways, despite seemly insurmountable obstacles, to ensure musical theater remained part of their school year."
