Since 2009, the Straz Center’s Broadway Star of the Future Program has celebrated outstanding student achievement in high school theater. The Broadway Star of the Future Awards program is the Tampa Bay area’s regional awards program affiliated with the National High School Musical Theatre Awards (NHSMTA) or the Jimmy Awards®, named in honor of James M. Nederlander, legendary Broadway theater owner and producer.
Adjudicators will also be invited to attend "Mamma Mia!" in the spring. The 2023 Broadway Star of the Future Award recipients will be determined from a complete list of nominations. The Award recipients will be announced in May 2023.
