The Drama Banquet is an annual event that celebrates the past theatre season, and they announce the shows and drama officers for next year. Additionally, each senior announces their “protege,” a younger student who they see themselves in. Drama teacher Kathleen McKenzie hands out three awards at the banquet. The Hudson High School Annual Drama Award goes to two students who have shown excellence on and off stage. The Technical Theatre award goes to someone who has shown talent and dedication with technical theatre. The Paul Johnson Performing Arts Scholarship goes to Drama Society students who are going to college.
