At the ceremony, a panel of judges will bestow several awards and scholarships, including the awards for Best Performance by an Actor and Best Performance by an Actress. The Jimmy Awards is an industry leader in charting the future of live performance, with over 90 alumni having performed on Broadway and in National Tours, and numerous others enjoying robust careers in film, television, and music.
