Why is this important?

We are Hillsborough County Schools' best kept secret! The publicity generated from being recognized as the Best High School Drama Program in The Bay Area increases our visibility, helps us recruit the best young artists to the program, brings in new audience members who may not know that Blake Theater is synonymous with quality, and raises the profile of Blake High School as a whole. It is a win for everyone at the school. 

The program, faculty, and students of Blake Theater garnered 9 nominations over all. All of our nominees are listed below. We encourage you to support any of the artists associated with Blake Theater, but make sure that vote Howard W. Blake School of the Arts for Best HS Drama Program. Put your vote behind what we already know, Blake Theater is Tampa Bay's best!
