Two Colorado Teens Win Scholarships For Acting

NEW YORK (CBS4) - Two Colorado student actors won scholarship money at the National High School Musical Theatre Awards on June 27. The teens also got a chance to perform on Broadway.

"It's been the most incredible week of my life. We performed on Broadway, last night," said Charlotte Movizzo, a recent graduate of Ponderosa High School.

Movizzo was the 2016 winner of the Bobby G Award for outstanding performance in a lead role by an actress, which also secured her a spot at the National High School Musical Theatre Awards.

Curtis Salinger won the 2016 Bobby G Award for outstanding performance in a lead role by an actor. He also went to New York City for the National High School Musical Theatre Awards. Both teens spent the week working with Broadway stars, learned songs and choreography that they performed at the awards ceremony.

"We're ending this week with life-long friends, and it's really an incredible week. And it's priceless," Salinger said.

Both students won $2,500 in scholarship money. Movizzo said she'll use hers at the University of Northern Colorado. Salinger is a sophomore in high school and was unsure how he'll use the money. In addition to the scholarships, Salinger won a scholarship to Carnegie Mellon's theatre intensive, next summer.
