Gary Edwin Robinson, head of the Theatre Arts Program at Boys and Girls High School in Brooklyn, will receive the 2025 Excellence in Theatre Education Award. His teaching emphasizes how theater skills can enhance various career paths, encouraging students to explore their potential. He teaches multiple drama classes, guiding students through foundational skills in the first year, more complex text analysis in the second year, and culminating productions in the third year. Robinson's approach highlights the relevance of theater skills even in unlikely fields, promoting personal growth and communication abilities.
"As I am working with my students, it's always, 'How is theater going to help develop you in whatever area you're going into?'"
"I encourage my students every time they come to class to step out the box, explore, try something new today."
