2010 Globe Honors

Globe Honors winner Katie Sapper was one of three leading actress finalists at the 2010 National High School Musical Theater Awards (NHSMTA) held on June 28 in New York City. Sapper, of the Academy of Our Lady of Peace, and Jordon Bunshaft of Coronado High School won top honors at the 2010 Globe Honors competition held on May 17, winning Leading Actress and Actor in a High School Musical and an all-expenses-paid trip to New York to participate in the national competition.

Sapper and Bunshaft, both of El Cajon, joined 42 other regional winners from high schools across the country for a rigorous week of workshops, coaching sessions, rehearsals and performances. Sapper performed her Globe Honors-winning song, “Somewhere That’s Green” from the musical Little Shop of Horrors in the competition before an audience of over 1,200 theater enthusiasts. The award ceremony was hosted by Kathie Lee Gifford and Tommy Tune at the Marquis Theatre.

In addition to Sapper and Bunshaft, this year’s Globe Honors winners also include Daniel Myers, High Tech High International (Musical Theatre); Satya Chávez, Academy of Our Lady of Peace (Musical Theatre); Michael Silberblatt, Coronado High School (Spoken Theatre); Olivia O’Connor, Coronado High School (Spoken Theatre); and Michael Barahura, Hilltop High School (Technical Theatre).

More than 60 students from San Diego High Schools competed for the chance to win scholarships and attend NHSMTA at the 2010 Globe Honors held in May. The talented teens acted and sang their way through a series of auditions, semi finals and finals. Each winner won a scholarship to help further their training.
