The Lucie Arnaz Awards were created to honor and celebrate the outstanding work of teachers and students in the performing arts, specifically musical theatre, in both public and private high schools in The Inland Empire, which includes both Riverside and San Bernardino counties.
The Lucie Arnaz Awards serve as a regional competition for the National High School Musical Theatre Awards (NHSMTA), also known as the Jimmy Awards. McCallum Theatre will proudly serve as the new host venue for this prestigious event.
This year, 22 high schools will participate and compete for honors including Best Musical and Best Performance by an Actor and Actress. The awards ceremony at the McCallum Theatre will showcase performances from the five top musicals selected in the competition and feature performances from the top eight leading actors and actresses. From these finalists, two students will be selected to advance to the Jimmy Awards in New York City.
The McCallum Theatre is proud to host the Lucie Arnaz Awards as part of its membership in the Broadway League, supporting the growth of musical theatre education and celebrating the extraordinary talent of young performers in our region.
