Cappies Rule Changes – 2014

1. 1. Featured (Actress/Actor) p. 38. "A Featured performer creates and defines a memorable character, in a role that may OR may not have significant stage time, character presentation, and involvement in the story line. A role that is too small to qualify as Supporting will qualify as Featured. Examples in a musical are: Grandmother Berthe in "Pippin", Freddy in "My Fair Lady", and Marcellus in "The Music Man"."
2. 2. Stage Management and Stage Crew. This Award incorporates the speed, silence, invisibility, and/or entertainment aspects of scene, set, and furniture changes, and all other stage management, including all materials, whether visible or not. All work must be done by or under the direction of one student or a small group of students, but adult guidance is permissible.

• Importance of independent audit of awards voting
  The auditor(s) used at the end of voting must be independent from Cappies, Inc. and every chapter’s votes MUST be audited and communicated to Cappies Inc. before release to the chapter press, schools, students, etc. Consult Admin Binder 3 for three (3) examples of types of audit in addition to having the auditor examine every category as NCA does.
