Beyond the Performance

At TPA, we believe in the unique power of live performance to uplift, connect, and create community and we ensure that our engagement with the arts reaches far beyond the stage. Each year, thousands of students and Central Texas residents participate in TPA’s educational and outreach programs, including School Day Performances, workshops, masterclasses, and pre- and post-show talks. By offering an array of transformative experiences, we aim to inspire people of all ages and enhance the role of the performing arts in Austin.

Our 25/26 season is in full swing, featuring an extraordinary lineup of must-see live performances along with numerous opportunities to engage with and learn from our visiting artists. Here are just a few highlights from this past season:

In October, TPA hosted its second free School Day Performance of a Broadway musical, welcoming 3,000 enthusiastic students from across Central Texas to The Outsiders at Bass Concert Hall.

Company members from Chicago’s Manual Cinema led a hands-on workshop for UT theater students featuring an overview and demonstration of their methods, followed by a group activity in which students created short scenes using those techniques.

The Miró Quartet visited the Austin Soundwaves Invitational Festival at Northeast Early College High School, performing for local students and answering questions during a full day of music-making.

Cast members of the new play Stuntboy, In the Meantime paused to capture the excitement of their School Day Performance, snapping a selfie in front of an energized audience of Austin-area students.

As part of the Austin engagement of the Broadway musical The Outsiders, TPA collaborated with Little Free Libraries to distribute 50 copies of the classic book and a chance to win tickets, inviting the community to share in the power of theatre and storytelling.

Raise the drama. Raise the curtain. Raise a glass

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.

Modeled after the Tony Awards®, the HAYAs honor the entire high school musical experience, on and

off the stage. Awards are presented in 19 categories such as best production, lead and supporting performers, and technical design. 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.

Ready to make a difference for the next generation of performers? Contact support@texasperformingarts.org or call 512.232.8567.

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.

Texas Performing Arts, the home of Broadway in Austin, is now home to The Heller Awards for Young Artists (HAYAs). TPA will hold the next awards ceremony at Bass Concert Hall on May 6, 2026, where the next two students are announced to represent Austin, Texas at the Jimmys.

Ready to make a difference for the next generation of performers? Contact support@texasperformingarts.org or call 512.232.8567.

and Walker arrive at The Juilliard School

Support for Austin’s participation in the Jimmy Awards and the HAYAs is provided by H-E-B and H-E-B Tournament of Champions, the Heller Awards for Young Artists Endowment, the Marcia L. Nelson Endowment for High School Musical Theater Awards, Mila McCutchen, and the Heller Awards for Young Artists Executive Producers: Andrew and Mary Ann Heller, the Cipione Family Foundation, Bettye Nowlin, Heather Petkovsek, Marc and Carolyn Seriff, and an anonymous donor.

When Texans are in need, we lend a hand. We fight hunger, provide disaster relief, and honor our educators and military. We do this for one simple reason. We are from here, so we are helping here.

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

educators and our Nation’s military, we’re firm believers in Texans helping Texans. We do
