The Heller Awards for Young Artists—Austin’s Tony Awards® for High School Musical Theatre—are moving to TPA in 2026! The Heller Awards for Young Artists (HAYAs) are moving to TPA, the home of Broadway in Austin, and will become a permanent program beginning this season. The HAYAs ceremony will take place at Bass Concert Hall on May 6, 2026. This highly anticipated annual event celebrates the exceptional talents of high school musical theatre students and educators across the Greater Austin area, while also fostering the next generation of Broadway performers. What began with 19 participating schools in its inaugural year at the Long Center for the Performing Arts has since expanded to include 37 schools— and continues to grow.

Through TPA’s membership in the Broadway League, the winners of lead actor and actress at the HAYAs go on to the National High School Musical Theatre Awards, also known as the Jimmy Awards. These students join top students from other U.S. regional programs to perform on a Broadway stage in New York City and participate in a week-long training intensive with notable theatre professionals.

2025 Jimmy Awards—How TPA is Nurturing the Artists of Tomorrow Through our partnership with the Broadway League, each year two standout students from Austin’s Heller Awards for Young Artists are selected to compete at the National High School Musical Theatre Awards®—known as the Jimmy Awards—in New York City. Last June, Walker Wallace of Round Rock High School and Raegan Gonzales of Weiss High School had the opportunity to compete with 108 other Nominees. The Jimmys is not only an awards event, but also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for 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. Nurturing homegrown talent and guiding and supporting the next generation of artists is central to Texas Performing Arts’ mission and we could not be happier for Raegan, Walker, and all the Nominees.
