OASD Student Spotlight | Antonio Thompson's Show-Stopping Musical Performance Career

As the final curtain closes on his high school career, recent Oshkosh North High School graduate, Antonio Thompson, reflects on his passion for music and theatrical performance, as well as his prestigious nomination as a finalist in the 2026 National High School Theatre Awards (AKA The Jimmy Awards). Antonio is just one of two students selected from more than 2,200 students in Northeast Wisconsin to participate in this year's Jimmy Awards. Notably, this is the first time a student from Oshkosh has ever received this distinguished honor. As a part of this rare achievement, Antonio had the opportunity to travel to New York City in June to participate in a 10-day workshop with 115 other high school musical theatre finalists from across the nation. Staying on the Juilliard campus, Antonio got to learn from industry professionals - refining skills in vocal performance, choreography, and acting - and had the chance to perform on a Broadway stage on Monday, June 22nd, for The Jimmy Awards Show.
