A film by Matthew D. Kallis and Christopher Lockhart
Most Valuable Players shines the spotlight on talented kids in Pennsylvania’s high-school musical theater programs as they prepare for the Freddy Awards, the annual awards show honoring outstanding high-school musical theater talent and programs.
Most Valuable Players shifts the focus from the ultra-competitive and well-funded athletic programs in sports-obsessed Pennsylvania to the no less deserving but sorely underfunded musical theater programs in the state.
Illustrating that arts education encourages the same teamwork, camaraderie and confidence as sports, Most Valuable Players follows multitalented students from three schools as they prepare for the night of their young lives in hopes of appearing on stage at the prestigious Freddy Awards show.
