Welcome to the tenth annual ASU Gammage High School Musical Theatre Awards program! The ASU Gammage HSMTA program is part of the National High School Musical Theatre Awards program sponsored by The Broadway League. ASU Gammage selects up to 25 high schools to participate for the 2023-2024 school year. Adjudicators attend theatre performances and submit scores and feedback. The program culminates in an awards showcase on May 25th, 2024, when all 25 schools are featured. Awards are also presented to the winners in performance and tech theatre categories. The Best Lead Male and Best Lead Female winners go on to compete in the NHSMTA, otherwise known as “The Jimmy Awards.”
