Parkland kids sing at fundraiser

The drama students from Florida’s Parkland school have made another surprise stage appearance in New York. This time it was at a fundraiser in Central Park for the summer Shakespeare in the Park program. The benefit Monday night included a production of the 1978 Tony-nominated show Runaways by the late Elizabeth Swados. At the end of the show, the students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School performed a piece Swados had written for a screenplay of Runaways that never materialized. They had appeared at Sunday’s Tony Awards to sing Seasons of Love from Rent.
