By: Chloe Rabinowitz May. 03, 2022
Nominations have been announced for the eighth annual Bobby G Awards by the Denver Center for the Performing Arts (DCPA). After the 2020 virtual celebration and the 2021 hiatus, the DCPA is thrilled to bring the ceremony back to the Ellie Caulkins Opera House on May 26, 2022. The event will be hosted by Abby Lehrer, who won the Outstanding Lead Actress award in 2018 and most recently competed in the 20th season of American Idol.
The Bobby G Awards is a regional high school musical theatre program that participates in The Jimmy Awards® and honors Colorado students and educators in the areas of performance, design, direction, choreography, musical direction, orchestration, technical production, and overall production excellence. The evening serves as an opportunity for the DCPA to honor Colorado musical theatre educators and the programs and for Colorado students to celebrate and support each other.
DCPA Teaching Artist and Bobby G Awards Program Manager, Claudia Carson, is excited to return to an in-person event. "This has been such an exciting year coming back to live high school musical theater. What has truly stood out in all the productions is the fresh energy and joy that I have experienced attending productions. They have been filled with heart! I am truly humbled to experience the amazing work and talent of the students both on and off the stage and the educators/directors. I am so grateful we are back!"
The Jimmy Awards® will return to an in-person event for the first time in two years and will take place at the Minskoff Theatre in New York City on June 27, 2022. The winners of the Bobby G Outstanding Lead Actor and Actress awards will represent Colorado in a week-long series of intensive workshops with industry professionals and rehearsals in preparation for a one-night-only Jimmy Awards® on Broadway.
This year, adjudicators evaluated 41 participating productions in 18 different counties in Colorado. Over 3,500 students were adjudicated, 552 of which participated in workshops held by DCPA Teaching Artists. Out of those 41 participating schools, 29 received nominations.
