Yet beyond halls of teen angst lies genuine talent that's kept audiences captivated through every role you play. Whether it's comedy stages or captivating indie performances more recently, you're tackling new ground while fans nostalgically rewatch their favorite after-school memories.

Celebrate big today—you certainly deserve it!
