That’s how Bruno Dominguez Martinez, an actor with Coronado School of the Arts Theatre and Drama Conservatory, describes his experience winning “Best Actor” at the 2025 Broadway San Diego Awards. “But I was reassured once I heard the audience cheer my name.”Dominguez was recognized for his work in the CoSA production of Cabaret, which was also nominated for Best Musical. Barbara Wolf, CoSA Musical Theatre and Drama Conservatory Chair, wasn’t so surprised. For Dominguez, the opportunity to travel to New York, the capital for musical theatre, is nothing short of a blessing. Over the next few weeks, Dominguez will prepare for his trip: working with Broadway professionals, industry coaches, directors and choreographers.
