CINCINNATI REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL THEATRE AWARDS
The Cincinnati Regional High School Theatre Awards inspire and honor excellence in high school musical theater and recognize the importance of musical theater and arts-education within the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky community. The program offers arts education opportunities throughout the school year including professional master classes, audition workshops, apprenticeships and more, and culminates regionally at the Aronoff Center with the Cincinnati Regional High School Theatre Awards Ceremony, modeled after the Tony Awards®, to recognize outstanding musical theater productions and students.
Starting in the fall of 2025, a curated panel of independent adjudicators will attend one production at each participating school and provide educational feedback and scores to determine nominations and awards in various categories. Cincinnati Regional High School Theatre Awards program will be affiliated with the National High School Musical Theatre Awards (“The Jimmy Awards”) presented by The Broadway League Foundation. The regional winners of the Best Actor and Actress categories will represent the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area at The National High School Musical Theatre Awards® (The Jimmy Awards®).
