It could have been Ottawa’s best dressed at Sunday night’s red carpet event. Students, adorned in floor-length gowns and dapper suites, stilettos and glitzy jewels, strutted their stuff under the local limelight.
Ottawa’s very own mini-Oscars came to the National Arts Centre for the 9th annual Canada Cappies, which recognizes excellence in theatre among high school students.
The packs of nominees in the more than 30 categories descended the stairs to great whooping shouts and decidedly girlish shrieks from the crowd. There were winks, fists thrust skyward and a few ham-worthy poses. But all got their time before the photographer’s flash and stood before the swell of applause from the lower foyer of the National Arts Centre, warm with several hundred bodies.
Elisabeth Levin made her way down with the others in her category — Feature Actress in a musical.
Levin didn’t expect to see her name among the nominees, but the 15-year-old was ecstatic when her named rolled across the live feed announcing the lucky students.
“I started screaming,” says Levin, who won for her part in Sweeney Todd at Sunday’s award ceremony. “It’s a really big deal because it shows me that I may be able to make it in theatre. I saw it as a sign.”
Levin has been singing since she was three and the Grade 10 student says she’s found her home at Earl of March Secondary School.
“The drama department is a shining star,” says Levin, adding that the Cappies are a great way to discover theatre.
Her part as the begger woman, or as she describes it “an insane prostitute old lady,” was challenging but also one of the reasons she loves drama.
“You can just be someone else for a day. It’s an interesting experience, something everyone should do.”
Amran Ibrahim was also up for Feature Actress, but in a play. The 18-year-old says she was thrilled to be a part of the annual awards.
“It’s really important because it celebrates high school theatre,” Ibrahim said. “Without the Cappies, I don’t school plays would be the way they are.”
That’s a sentiment that drama teacher Phil Holmes echoes.
“This is an incredible experience,” said Holmes, who teaches at Philemon Wright High School and directed Legally Blond, which garnered 13 nominations at the Cappies.
“The athletes always get recognition. The academics always get recognition. This is one of the greatest events in Ottawa for theatre,” says Holmes, pausing to whoop for one of his school’s nominees. “Since it started, the level of theatre in Ottawa has really risen. The kids have yet another reason to rehearse late.”
His school won best musical last year, which he says help build momentum and interest for the next year.
“It’s starting to be the cool thing to do,” he says. And the more students who come out and try their hand at theatre, the better.
“In math you learn to add and subtract, in English you learn how to read. In drama class you learn how to live. You use your theatre skills – your drama skills – every single day”
“It teaches you to be yourself, to be comfortable in your own skin.”
