th Annual

AMP AWARDS Our intent in creating the AMP AWARDS is to celebrate the incredible efforts of our students that show excellence on and off the stage. These performers work long hours after school and on weekends, and this is to celebrate their dedication and commitment to excellence on and off the stage. Below are outlined the Outstanding and Runner Up Performers recognized in the 2017 7th Annual AMP Awards Ceremony conducted March 20, 2017 at the Courtyard Theatre in Plano, Texas. Over 1,000 finalists in 150 categories and four Divisions were announced during the program, and Outstanding and Runner-Up recipients were awarded trophies in recognition for their work. Certificates were made available for every Finalist. Trophy and Certificate recipients not in attendance may pick up their awards at the Plano Children’s Theatre. All decisions by the Directors of the Academy are considered final and this list represents the complete and final list of categories and award recipients.
