The awards, which recognize excellence in high school musical theatre, are named in honor of late Broadway theatre owner and producer James M. Nederlander.
Each year, students from across the U.S. travel to New York City to compete in the categories of Best Performance by an Actor and Actress. Their work is showcased throughout the ceremony in a series of dynamic ensemble and solo performances.
The new institution will honor multiple honorees, with separate dimmings reserved for those a committee designates as having had a significant and lasting impact on Broadway.
