Congratulations to Josiah Gamiño (Theatre 2025) for his YoungArts Award in the Popular Music category. National Competition Winners are chosen for their caliber of artistic achievement by esteemed discipline-specific panels of artists through an adjudication process that includes multiple rounds of review. All YoungArts award winners receive cash prizes between $250 and $10,000. In addition to monetary awards, all winners receive a medallion, a lifetime of creative and professional support, and access to a private, online portal for YoungArts artists to connect, share their work and discover new opportunities.
Junior Player's The Lightning Thief
If that central figure looks familiar that is because it is Josiah Gamiño (BTW 2025) in the role of Percy Jackson.
Josiah is one of many Pegasi involved both onstage and behind the scenes as Junior Player's prepares for their production of the Lightning Thief, adapted from the best-selling book of the same name by Rick Riordan.
The Lightning Thief runs January 9 - 12 at the Moody Performance Hall and tickets are on sale NOW at juniorplayers.org/tickets!
