Most Valuable Players is an upcoming 2010 documentary film about The Freddy Awards, an annual awards ceremony recognizing outstanding high school musical theatre in the Lehigh Valley region of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The film will focus on the 2008 ceremony for the annual award program, which is held every year at the State Theatre in Easton, Pennsylvania.[1] The first public screening will be shown on April 16, 2010, at the State Theatre, and will have its official premiere at the film festival circuit some time later.[2]

A Canyonback Films production, Most Valuable Players was directed by Matt Kallis and produced by Christopher Lockhart. The film was conceived when Lockhart found a clip of the 2006 ceremony on YouTube while searching for something unrelated. He was impressed with the production values and performance caliber, and took the idea to Kallis, who agreed to partner with him for a documentary.[3]

Over four month, Lockhart and Kallis filmed about 300 hours of footage over four months, starting with 2008 high school rehearsals all the way up to the State Theatre ceremony on May 22, 2008.[1] In addition to the event itself, the footage includes filming behind-the-scenes footage of production meetings, interviews with students and teachers, and rehearsals at participating high schools, the announcement of Freddy Award nominations.[3]

Most Valuable Players is expected to run less than 95 minutes long. The original working titled had been Freddy Fever, but it was abandoned.[1] The documentary will focus primarily on three schools: Emmaus High School in Emmaus, Pennsylvania, Parkland High School in Allentown, and Freedom High School in Bethlehem.[1][4]
