Ridgewood NJ, The Ridgewood community has a major reason to celebrate this Broadway season. Ridgewood High School (RHS) Class of 1998 graduate and celebrated Ridgewood New Players alumna Jen Schriever has officially won her first Tony Award.
Schriever took home the prestigious award for Best Lighting Design of a Musical for her stunning work on the hit production “The Lost Boys.” She shares the honor with her talented director and co-designer, Michael Arden.
A Long-Awaited Triumph on the Broadway Stage
While this marks Schriever’s historic first win, she is no stranger to the American Theatre Wing’s highest honors. Her masterful eye for theatrical design previously earned her critical acclaim and Tony nominations for her work on:
-
A Strange Loop
-
Death of a Salesman
Her victory with The Lost Boys solidifies her status as one of Broadway’s premier lighting designers and stands as a testament to the strong foundation built during her early theater days in Bergen County.
Illuminating Ridgewood’s Legacy of Artistic Excellence
The Tony Awards, presented annually by the American Theatre Wing and The Broadway League, represent the absolute pinnacle of live American theater. Winning a Tony recognizes world-class achievement in disciplines ranging from acting and directing to choreography and design.
Schriever’s incredible milestone is bringing immense pride to her New Jersey hometown. Her success shines a bright spotlight on the enduring legacy of the Ridgewood High School arts programs and the Ridgewood New Players, proving once again that local high school theater stages can serve as the launchpad for Broadway’s brightest stars.
