Cappies NCA 2025–26 Interest Meeting – August 14 at 3PM
Dear Theatre Directors,
I hope you're enjoying a restful and creative summer!
As we prepare for the 2025–26 Cappies NCA season, I’m excited to invite you to our Interest Meeting, which will take place virtually on Thursday, August 14 at 3:00 PM.
This meeting is not required, but strongly encouraged for all schools interested in participating this year. It will last approximately 1.5 hours and will be recorded and shared with all recipients of this email. That said, we highly encourage you to attend live if possible so you can ask questions and engage in real time.
Multiple staff members from your school may attend, but we strongly recommend that the theatre teacher or Cappies Advisor be present at a minimum. Students should not attend this meeting.
During the session, we’ll cover:
The application process for the 2025–26 season (all schools must reapply each year)
Changes to the process for this year
A walkthrough of the 2025–26 season calendar
Time for frequently asked questions and live Q&A
A preview of the application will be available at the meeting to help you prepare. Applications open on August 22, 2025, and show slots, especially on high-volume weekends, are limited, so we strongly recommend having all materials ready to submit by that date.
Additionally, please be aware that, per a decision by Cappies Inc., program fees have been raised this year to:
$450 per participating school
$20 per participating critic
Depending on your district, these fees may already be covered—please check with your district contact if you're unsure.
A Zoom link and meeting agenda will be sent closer to the meeting date. If you're no longer the Cappies contact at your school, please let me know so I can update our records. Please fill out this quick RSVP form to let us know to expect you!
Looking forward to launching another exciting season!
