The Metros, the high-school equivalent of the Tony Awards in the Lower Hudson Valley, honor work performed at participating schools in Rockland, Putnam, Westchester and Bergen counties. This year, 48 schools put their hats into the Metros ring and were adjudicated in 31 categories — from lobby display and child actor to the big prize, outstanding overall production. 

The Metros ceremony is June 6 at Archbishop Stepinac High School in White Plains. The awards are produced by Danielle Rudess of Nyack’s Helen Hayes Youth Theater. Hosting this year’s event will be Ashley Park of Lincoln Center’s Tony-winning production of “The King and I” and Jason Gotay, who recently starred in the world premiere of “A Bronx Tale” at New Jersey’s Paper Mill Playhouse, directed by Jerry Zaks and Robert DeNiro.
