Auckland Live and Auckland Community Theatre Trust are proud to present the Auckland Live Showdown Awards 2023.

Showdown is the Auckland secondary school production competition and aims to promote excellence among our up and coming performers and theatre technicians.

With 12 plays and 16 musicals entered, this year's nominees come from 23 secondary schools across Auckland. Nominees have been selected by our Showdown judges and tonight the winners in 30 categories are announced at the Bruce Mason Centre.

It looks like it's time for a Showdown!
