Two local high school graduates are leaving for New York City this weekend to learn from Broadway professionals.
Kyra Hietpas from Little Chute High School and Matthew Wautier from Green Bay Southwest won the trip at the Center Stage Awards last month.
The Fox Cities Performing Arts Center is sending them to a national awards program called The Jimmy’s.
Hietpas is looking forward to going through training for more than a week. She says she’s most excited to get experience on a Broadway stage.
Wautier also wants to learn. He says he’s looking forward to working with some of the best mentors in the nation.
They’ll perform on a Broadway stage for the finale of The Jimmy’s.
