Lia Turner and Charizma Scott dazzled at the Stars of Tomorrow NYC Bound competition on May 21 at the West Herr Auditorium Theatre.
Out of nearly 200 performers, Lia earned a spot in the Top 20. What an amazing achievement! Lia delivered outstanding performances of "All That Jazz" (CHICAGO: TEEN EDITION) and "I Hate Men" (KISS ME KATE). Though she didn’t advance to the final round, Lia poured everything into her performances and left an unforgettable impression on that stage. We couldn’t be more proud of the creativity, courage, and passion she brought to every moment.
Huge shoutout to Charizma Scott for representing Hilton High School with heart and school spirit. She may not have reached the Top 20, but she cheered on her peers and showed amazing sportsmanship.
We are so proud of both Lia and Charizma — their talent and hard work showcased Hilton High School Theatre beautifully!
Thank you to the Hilton High School theatre students and parents who attended NYC Bound to support Lia and Charizma — your support means everything! Special thanks to Mrs. Laurel Hebbard for accompanying our students.
Congrats to Gus Crawford (Batavia) and Addie Schulitz (Pittsford Mendon), the 2026 Stars of Tomorrow NYC Bound winners — we’ll be cheering as they represent Rochester at the Jimmy Awards this June!
