Connecticut Teens to Appear on Broadway Tonight

Tonight - Monday - Jillian Cailloutte (St. Paul HS, Bristol) and Taylor Varga (Newtown HS) - will perform, live, on Broadway, at The Minskoff Theater, representing Connecticut at The National High School Musical Theater Awards. Ms. Cailloutte won the Best Actress Award at the state level awards gala in May for her role in Little Women, while Mr. Varga won Best Actor for his performance in How to Succeed in Business.

Along with their chaperone, Mark Mazzarella (Teacher, St. Paul HS. Bristol) they have spent this past week in workshops, coaching sessions, talk-backs with Broadway actors, rehearsals for tonight with choreographers and musical directors and being seen by significant talent agents, all in preparation for tonight. It's not about the award, it's about what you learn on the journey.

Please join with Connecticut High School Musical Theater Awards in wishing them much success, joy and above all else, send them your support!
