The upcoming evening will feature ensemble and solo performances and will conclude with two students presented with the awards for Best Performance by an Actor and Best Performance by an Actress.
“The Jimmy Awards not only have an immense impact on the lives of the
nominees, but also on the theatre community at large," said Interim President of The Broadway League Jason Laks in a statement. "To date, over 70
program alumni have gone on to perform in Broadway and touring Broadway
shows—not to mention landing roles in both television and film. The
talent that this program produces and nurtures is tremendous, and we at
The Broadway League look forward to celebrating that talent during
another memorable ceremony.”
