Langley Cappies Shows

Each year, Langley High School's Saxon Stage enters one main stage production into the Cappies program. Student critics review these shows from across the National Capital Area. The Cappies Gala is held at the end of every season, with all submitted productions from the area being considered for awards.

2021-2022 Season

The 2021-2022 Cappies show was Disney's Freaky Friday: the musical. With music and lyrics by Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey, and a book by Bridget Carpenter. Based on the 1972 book of the same name by Mary Rodgers and its film adaptations. In the story, when an overworked mother and her teenage daughter magically swap bodies, they have just one day to put things right again before the mom's wedding.

2020-2021 Season

In the 2020-2021 Cappies season, Saxon Stage conducted all performances virtually. The Cappies program shifted from an awards-based program to being solely review-based for the year. Langley submitted five different shows names, of which many were student-written and produced. 

2019-2020 Season

The 2019-2020 Cappies show was Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. The show had a creative twist, placing the show amidst the backdrop of a tumultuous U.S. presidential election. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Cappies Gala was canceled before nominees or winners were announced.
