TIMES SQUARE, Manhattan (WABC) -- The stars of tomorrow were in the spotlight on Thursday night, and we're not talking about the New York Knicks.

This year's Jimmy Awards nominees had their faces displayed on a giant billboard in Times Square.



The Jimmys are like the Tonys, but for high school theatre.

The contenders are from all across the country, including in New York City.



"It's obviously been an extremely good honor and I love it. I'm just stoked to be here," one said.



" It's so cool cause my school that I go to is actually here in Times Square, and so I walk here every day," another said.

The awards show takes place next Monday.
