SOUTH GLENS FALLS — South Glens Falls High School senior Heather Hayes will be attending the 13th Annual High School Musical Theatre “Jimmy” Awards.
Along with students from 40 different regions from across the country, including Spencer Boyce from Saratoga Springs High School, Hayes will participate in a week-long intensive at The Julliard School and perform at Broadway’s Minskoff Theatre in a culminating performance-based competition later this month.
Student performers qualify for the nationwide program by winning top honors at regional high school musical theatre awards ceremonies which are sponsored by Broadway League member performing arts centers.
Hayes won Best Actress at the High School Musical Theatre Awards at Proctors for her portrayal of Mrs. Wormwood in South Glens Falls High School’s spring production of MATILDA.
Over 140,000 students at 1,800 high schools in 25 states participated in these annual events, vying for a spot at the 2022 Jimmy Awards.
Since 2017, the Capital District’s regional competition has sent ten students to compete in the Jimmy Awards.
