The Broadway League Foundation has revealed the 58 participating Regional Awards Programs for the 17th annual Jimmy Awards which will take place on Monday, June 22, 2026 at 7:30pm at Broadway’s Minskoff Theatre. 

The Jimmy Awards is the national talent showcase celebrating high school musical theatre students from across the country. Each participating Regional Awards Program will award top honors to two local student performers and sponsor their travel to New York City to participate in The National High School Musical Theatre Awards, culminating in the annual Jimmy Awards ceremony live on a Broadway stage and livestreamed on the Jimmy Awards YouTube channel.

At the ceremony, a panel of judges will bestow several awards and scholarships, including the awards for Best Performance by an Actor and Best Performance by an Actress. The Jimmy Awards is an industry leader in charting the future of live performance, with over 90 alumni having performed on Broadway and in National Tours, and numerous others enjoying robust careers in film, television, and music.
