JERRY AWARDS to Expand to Two Shows at Overture Hall for 2026 Ceremony
The Wisconsin high school musical theater celebration will feature 118 productions across two performances in Madison.
Wisconsin's brightest high school musical theater talent will take center stage this June at the 2026 Jerry Awards. The 2026 celebration expands to 118 productions and two high-energy award shows at 3:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Sunday, June 7 in Overture Hall.
Each show will feature a unique lineup of students from participating schools, with standout performances by Outstanding Award recipients, giving audiences two chances to experience the passion and talent thriving in Wisconsin schools. With two performances, this year's format opens the doors to more of the students' family members and friends—and the public—to be part of the excitement.
Tickets ($41 each or $28 for students) are now on sale. Tickets sell out quickly! A livestream option is available for those who can't be in person. Livestream tickets are Pay What You Wish ($10 minimum).
This year's Jerry Awards honor more than 500 student achievements from productions in 100 communities statewide, showcasing excellence across schools of all sizes and resources. The celebration continues as two Outstanding Lead Performers, selected on Monday, May 25, will go on to represent the program at the National High School Musical Theatre Awards (Jimmy Awards) in New York City.
