Bentonville native Jayna Glynn will compete in the American Pops Orchestra’s Next Gen vocal competition. Glynn performed in the semi-final livestream event of 30 students, and now will travel to New York City as one of 10 finalists appearing on stage at Lincoln Center. The 20-year-old will compete for cash prizes and performance opportunities with the American Pops Orchestra at 1 p.m. Feb. 19. While professional judges will vote on the winner, the audience watching the livestream will serve as a “fifth judge” on the APO YouTube channel. This event can only be viewed on Feb. 19; the stream will be available starting at 12:30 p.m. Voting will close 10 minutes after the last performance.

Glynn is a musical theater major at Missouri State University in Springfield who dreams of playing Glinda in “Wicked” one day. She moved to Bentonville at the age of 16 and quickly became involved in the theater there, playing Eponine in the 2019 production of “Les Miserables.” She was also involved in “Almost, Maine” and “The Putnam County Spelling Bee” with the BHS theater program. Glynn was a member of the BHS chamber choir and BHS choir president. In 2021, she was involved in TheatreSquared’s production of “Matilda,” and this past fall was part of “Crazy For You” through Tent Theatre, the professional theater housed within Missouri State University.
