The Jimmy Awards, also known as The National High School Musical Theatre Awards, presented by the Broadway League Foundation, will include a record number of 80 participants from 40 regional programs across the country. Nominees will compete for the coveted Jimmy Award for Best Performance by an Actor and Best Performance by an Actress and a chance at one of two $10,000 scholarships. The talent showcase will feature dynamic ensemble and solo performances plus appearances by current Broadway Stars.
