The annual Metro Awards honor excellence in high school music theater across Rockland, Westchester, Putnam, and Bergen counties.

The Upper School musical production of Head Over Heels earned six nominations: 

• Outstanding Performance by a Student Critic: Lily Leand ’27
• Outstanding Comedic Performance by a Male-Identifying Performer: Colin Lauri ’25 as King Basilius
• Outstanding Acting Performance by a Female-Identifying Performer: Vreeland Tuncer ’26 as Queen Gynecia
• Outstanding Performance of a Small Group Number: Rosie Isiyel ’25, Haley Millowitz ’27, and Dominique Alvarez ’26 for "Good Girl"
• Outstanding Performance in a Supporting Female-Identifying Role: Dominique Alvarez ’26 as Mopsa
• Outstanding Achievement in Direction: Jeff Hogan, Upper School Drama Teacher

At the 2025 Metro Awards Ceremony at SUNY Purchase on June 2, Dominique Alvarez ’26 will be performing live on stage in a medley with the other nominated actresses in her category. 

We are incredibly proud of the work our students have done and the well-earned recognition they have received. Theatre is a machine of many moving parts—each one essential to the success of the whole. While the true measure of a production’s value and impact is never about the awards, each earned nomination stands as a testament to our students’ collaboration, creativity, and shared commitment to the craft.
