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 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. The students had appeared during Sunday’s Tony Awards to sing Seasons of Love from Rent.
