Finalists announced for the High School Musical Theatre Awards to be held at ASU Gammage on May 26


ASU Gammage has announced the finalists for the High School Musical Theatre Awards. Awards Ceremony and Show Saturday, May 26, 2018

Tickets available at www.asugammage.com

Complete with paparazzi, red carpet, tuxedos and gowns, the ASU Gammage High School Musical Theatre Awards recognizes and celebrates high school students and faculty that produce Musical Theater programs here in the Valley and beyond. Participating students will feel a special exhilaration as they get to experience performing on the ASU Gammage stage.

The Jimmy Awards/The National High School Musical Theatre Awards (NHSMTA) impacts more than 100,000 students who participate in high school musical theatre competitions sponsored by presenters of Touring Broadway productions throughout the United States. A Best Actress and Best Actor winner from each of these competitions is sent to New York for a week-long theatre intensive of coaching and rehearsals with industry professionals in preparation for a one-night-only showcase on Broadway, where a panel of judges crowns the nation's top performers. Named for Broadway impresario James M. Nederlander, the program has been the catalyst for more than $2,000,000 in educational scholarships.

In 2012, the program inspired preeminent broadcaster WGBH Boston to produce a 3-part documentary series called "Broadway or Bust," which follows students on a journey from their hometown competitions to their debut on Broadway. The series remains popular viewing at www.pbs.org. For more information, please visit www.JimmyAwards.com.
