Congratulations to our 2025 PAD award winners!

Every year the Performing Arts Department grants nine student awards and three faculty awards to recognize outstanding students and faculty for their talents and contributions to our department and the wider WashU community.


On Sunday, May 4, the Performing Arts Department held its annual end-of-year banquet where we awarded our student and faculty awards. We would like to extend our best wishes to those students and faculty who received an award and thank everyone for your hard work and dedication toward making this season a success!
