Grace Huggard and Olivia DeMarco, students at General Douglas MacArthur High School, were selected as nominees in the Roger Rees Awards. Two student performers at General Douglas MacArthur High School in the Levittown School District have earned prestigious nominations for their efforts on the stage.

Grace Huggard and Olivia DeMarco played leads in MacArthur's musical production of "Anything Goes." At various shows, adjudicators attended and scored performers on aspects such as singing, acting and dancing. The two, who earned high scores, were nominated among a total of 50 students to attend the next stage of the competition. In May 2024, they will participate in a weekend of rehearsals and coaching to prepare for the Roger Rees Awards Showcase. Twelve finalists will be announced at the showcase, who will perform solo, before two Outstanding Performers and two Emerging Artists are selected.

The District wishes these two talented performers the best of luck as they proceed through the competition.
