Utah Festival Opera & Musical Theatre is proud to sponsor the Third Annual Utah High School Musical Theater Awards in 2013, a musical theatre scholarship program that rewards excellence at the high school level. During the 2012-2013 school year, representatives from UFOMT will travel across the state to adjudicate high school productions. Nominated schools and artists will perform and winners will be announced at the awards ceremony Saturday, April 27, 2013 at the Kent Concert Hall in Logan, Utah. The winner of Best Actress and Best Actor will be sent to New York to participate in the National High School Musical Theater Awards.
The National High School Musical Theater Awards impacts more than 50,000 students annually who participate in high school musical theater competitions sponsored by top professional theatres throughout the US. A Best Actress and Best Actor winner from each of these competitions is sent to New York for a weeklong theater intensive of coaching and rehearsals with industry professionals in preparation for a one-night-only showcase at The Jimmy™ Awards on Broadway, where a panel of judges crowns the nation’s top performers. Since its inception in 2009, the program has been the catalyst for nearly $600,000 in university and conservatory scholarships awarded to its participants. 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. The fifth annual National High School Musical Theater Awards will take place Wednesday, June 26, through Tuesday, July 2, 2013 in New York City. The Jimmy™ Awards will be held on Monday, July 1, 2013, at the Minskoff Theatre on Broadway. For more information, please visit www.nhsmta.com.
