On Sunday, May 29,, the Balboa Theatre hosts the 2016 Ben Vereen Awards. Ten male and ten female nominees, chosen for their leading roles in local high school musicals, vie for the chance to represent San Diego at the National High School Musical Theatre Awards next month in New York.
Along with the competition in the Big Apple, finalists will experience “Camp Broadway,” a weeklong series of rehearsals, lectures, field trips “designed to prepare students for the NHSMTA/Jimmy Awards on Monday, June 27, at Broadway’s Minskoff Theatre.” In effect, it’s a priceless immersion at the musical theater capital of the world.
