Sunday, March 22 the Tommy Tune Nominations for 2020 were announced.

The Friendswood High School musical Matilda has received thirteen nominations for the 2020

Tommy Tune Awards sponsored by Theatre Under the Stars in Houston (TUTS).

The FHS musical is nominated for best musical, best ensemble, best lighting design, best scenic

design, best stage crew execution, best orchestra, best musical direction, best choreography and

best direction. A best actress nomination was given to senior Taylor Greny, and best actor

nominations were given to seniors Eric Jensen and Thomas Massey. Senior Taylor Campbell

received a nomination for best featured performer.

Director Kathy Powdrell said she and her students conducted a virtual watch-party as the

nominations came in as a way to maintain social distancing while also celebrating together.

“It was crazy for a few minutes, but it was so good to see the kids,” Powdrell said. “This cast

changes my life every day. I miss them right now, but we will be together soon. I am so honored

to work with such amazing colleagues and students. Heartfelt thanks to all of them. Bravo all.”
