Texas Performing Arts' participation in the Jimmy Awards® is supported, in part, by Andrew & Mary Ann Heller; Marcia & Gary Nelson; Bettye Nowlin; and Marc & Carolyn Seriff. 12
Take a Bow! Austin’s own Langston Lee Wins National Jimmy Award Last June the most talented teenagers from across the country took the stage at the Minskoff Theatre in New York City for the 14th National High School Musical Theatre Awards®, better known as the Jimmys. Among them, two Austinarea students, Langston Lee and Kyra Carr had the opportunity to compete on the Broadway stage with 94 other nominees. This annual awards event is a coast-tocoast celebration of outstanding student achievement recognizing individual artistry in vocal, dance, and acting performance. Both Langston and Kyra are winners of the 2023 Heller Awards for Young Artists for leading roles in their high school musicals. This was the first year that Heller winners could compete at the national level, thanks to a partnership with Texas Performing Arts, a member of the Broadway League. At the end of an unforgettable evening of show-stopping performances, the top honor of Best Performance by an Actor was awarded to Langston.
Nurturing homegrown talent and guiding and supporting the next generation of artists is central to TPA's mission and we could not be happier for Langston, Kyra, and all of the nominees. Bravo!
Want to learn how you can support the Jimmy Awards® through TPA? Contact support@texasperformingarts.org or call 512.471.1195.
But the Jimmys is not only an awards event, it’s a once-in-lifetime opportunity for the students to learn what it takes to build a performing arts career through coaching sessions, training, and rehearsals led by some of Broadway’s most accomplished professionals.

Helping Texans is at the heart of H-E-B.
Over 115 years ago, we opened our doors to help make the lives of hard-working Texans better. We were a family business back then. We remain a family business today with a passion for - and a helping hand in - every community we serve. From fighting hunger and providing disaster relief to honoring Texas educators and our Nation’s military, we’re firm believers in Texans helping Texans. We do this for one simple reason. We are from here, so we are helping here.
