We're just a few days away from the 2017 Jimmy Awards in New York City!

Justin Rivers and Anna Hertel (our Blumey Awards Best Actor and Best Actress winners) have been hard at work in the Big Apple this week, getting ready to showcase their talents at Monday night's ceremony! FUN UPDATE: both Anna and Justin have been placed in the medley groups at The Jimmy Awards!

Curious about exactly what they've been doing? Here are some behind the scenes photos - courtesy of our friends at The Jimmy Awards!

The National High School Musical Theatre Awards (the 'Jimmy Awards') are a national celebration of outstanding student achievement, recognizing individual artistry in vocal, dance, and acting performance and elevating the importance of theatre arts education in schools.

Justin and Anna - break a leg and keep up the GREAT WORK! We're so proud of you!
