EAST LANSING, MI <\/strong>\u2014 <\/strong>Sabina B. Camblor-Castrodad from Interlochen Arts Academy and Jason Clyde from Zeeland East High School were named Outstanding Performers in a Leading Role at the 13th<\/sup> annual Sutton Foster Awards Showcase held at Wharton Center on Sunday, May 18. The award\u2014named in honor of Michigan\u2019s own Broadway star, Sutton Foster\u2014is a celebration of outstanding achievement in individual artistry, vocal, dance, and acting performance for two leads in a high school musical theatre production. Sabina and Jason were two of the 150 high school drama students from across Michigan to compete for th\u00ade award.<\/p>\n

\u201cMusical theatre is my home: it\u2019s where I found my community, it\u2019s where I felt a sense of acceptance for the first time. The community that I feel in the theatre is just unmatched. To be able to experience that, and to manifest that in the songs we were singing today, was just so special,\u201d reflects Sabina, on the power of her musical theatre community and this year\u2019s showcase. \u201cI am looking forward to that big, big stage and getting to meet all the other actors, getting to network. The energy that you feel when it\u2019s so concentrated, like at the Jimmy Awards, is so infectious. I am super excited for everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sabina and Jason will head to New York City to compete in the National High School Musical Theater Awards\u2014otherwise known as the Jimmy\u2122 Awards\u2014on Monday, June 23, 2025, held this year at Broadway\u2019s Minskoff Theatre.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the first time in about 10 years that our school\u2019s musical has been adjudicated, and it was really special to be able to represent (my high school) in this way. I graduate on Wednesday, so it\u2019s going to be a fun time coming home,\u201d says Jason, of his experience at this year\u2019s Sutton Foster Awards Showcase. To anyone who aspires to join the world of musical theatre, Jason has some words of advice:<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can be any artist you want to be. You don\u2019t have to put yourself in a box of just an actor, a singer, or a dancer. You can be just one if you want, but you can be all three, and a storyteller. That\u2019s what I think is so great about this art form.\u201d<\/p>\n
