We are still pinching ourselves. 🥹⭐

Alice by Heart had an absolutely incredible night at the Paper Mill Playhouse Rising Star Awards, taking home Outstanding Production of a Musical, Outstanding Direction, Outstanding Scenic Design, Outstanding Lighting Design, and the Student Achievement Award. Five awards. FIVE. But honestly, the number doesn’t matter half as much as what it represents — a room full of people recognizing what we already know about these kids every single day.

They are talented beyond measure. They are kind, they are brave, they are hardworking, and they show up for each other in ways that make us so proud to be their directors. The Rising Stars are one of the most prestigious honors in New Jersey high school theater, and these students walked in and owned that stage like they were born for it. Because they were. Thank you, Paper Mill Playhouse, for this gift. 🩵🤍🩵

Bergen PAC High School Musical Awards

Our hearts are so full right now. 🥹⭐

The Madison Dramatic Dodgers were named Outstanding Overall Musical at the bergenPAC High School Musical Awards, with additional wins for Best Costume Design and Best Production Set Design — and we are just so overwhelmingly proud we don’t even know where to begin. These kids. THESE KIDS. They worked so hard, they lifted each other up, they brought Alice by Heart to life with everything they had, and to watch them be recognized for it is honestly one of the greatest joys of this work.

This is exactly why we do what we do. Not for the trophies, but for the look on their faces when they realize how extraordinary they truly are. Thank you to bergenPAC for giving our students this beautiful opportunity to shine. Every single one of them deserved this moment. 🐇✨

⭐ WE ARE RISING STARS! ⭐
Madison High School is proud to announce 10 nominations in the Paper Mill Playhouse Rising Star Awards, the most prestigious high school theater awards program in all of New Jersey. 🎭✨
Alice by Heart is a story about the unbreakable power of imagination, the love that carries us through our darkest moments, and the courage it takes to hold onto wonder when the world feels impossible. Our Madison Dodgers brought that story to life with breathtaking honesty and heart.
“Come with me. You can run there. You can breathe there. You’ll be well again. They won’t take you away. We’ll have each other always.” 🌹✨
That is what theater does. It takes us somewhere we can breathe. It reminds us we are not alone. And these students delivered that gift to every single person in that audience.
Our overall nomination means we will perform at the 2026 Paper Mill Playhouse Rising Star Award Ceremony on June 9, 2026, at one of the most celebrated theaters in the country. 🎉
Thank you to Paper Mill Playhouse for championing student artists across New Jersey and giving young performers a place where their talent truly matters. 🙏🌟
Madison Dodgers, you are extraordinary. We are so incredibly proud of every single one of you. Now let’s go show them what we’ve got on June 9. 💙💙💙

As we close the curtain on Alice by Heart at Madison High School, we are reminded that this show lives in the fragile space between imagination and loss, childhood and growing up. Set in the shadows of the London Blitz, the story asks how we hold onto wonder even when the world feels uncertain. One lyric echoes in our hearts tonight: nothing ever goes without a shadow. Even the brightest moments carry their weight, and even the hardest moments can reveal unexpected beauty.

The song Winter Blooms reminds us that hope can grow in unlikely places. In the coldest seasons, when everything seems still or broken, something inside us continues to reach toward the light. These students showed us that courage does not always look like triumph. Sometimes it looks like choosing to imagine, choosing to tell stories, choosing to care for one another when the world feels heavy.

To our seniors, this was your final bow on the Madison stage, and what a beautiful one it was. You have filled these years with laughter, creativity, and friendship that will continue long after the lights fade. As you step into new chapters, remember the lesson this show leaves with us: even in the deepest winter, something inside us blooms. Thank you for the stories you told, the hearts you shared, and the magic you brought to Wonderland.
