Popejoy Hall's latest initiative, The Popejoy Awards, celebrates the best of high school musical theater productions and performances throughout New Mexico. Affiliated with the National High School Musical Theater Awards, the event offers awards to state high school drama programs for Best Direction, Best Production, and Best Ensemble, as well as Individual acting awards.
The Tony Awards-style show, hosted by 2KASA Style's Chad Brummett, features the best of New Mexico's high school musical theater talent performing selections from popular Broadway musicals in addition to a live awards presentation.
Acting award winners will be sent to New York for one week in June to participate in the National High School Musical Theater Awards, known as the Jimmy Awards, a program run by the not-for-profit Broadway League. Students train with Broadway coaches and performers before competing on the national awards show stage at the Minskoff Theater, current home of Disney's The Lion King. The two New Mexico winners will compete for the Jimmy Awards with other winners from 31 similar regional competitions from across the country.
