What is the Shuler S.T.A.R. Council?

The Shuler S.T.A.R. Council stands for "Students Take A Role." S.T.A.R. Council students are high-school students who are interested in participating and learning more about the technical and behind-the-scenes production aspects of producing the four-time Southeast Emmy® Award winning Shuler Awards. Selected S.T.A.R Council students will have an opportunity to meet and work with television and theatre production professionals, participate in exclusive production elements of the live televised Shuler Awards ceremony, and other behind-the-scenes opportunities. The goal of the Shuler S.T.A.R. Council is to honor technical theatre students by providing a professional and educational theatre and television production experience.

Each participating musical director may submit up to 2 student nominees: (1) to participate in the S.T.A.R. Council Theatre Production Team, and (1) to participate in the S.T.A.R. Council T.V. Production Team. Nominees will be submitted through Acceptd (Section C). Each nominated student will fill out an application for participation and submit the necessary medical/media release forms. Completion of the application does not guarantee a student's participation. Depending on demand, we may reserve the right to limit the amount of participants.

Student Eligibility:

  • Students must be registered in grades 9-12 at the participating Shuler high school.
