Pantochino Teen Theatre presents Runaways musical Written by Pantochino News Desk
MILFORD – Pantochino Teen Theatre will present the musical “Runaways” by Elizabeth Swados for two closed-to-the-public performances on March 6, 2021.
“Runaways” is a collection of songs, dances, and spoken word pieces about children and teens who have run away from their homes. Initially created from interviews with homeless children and those in orphanages, Swados weaves songs about personal struggle and the world at large through the eyes of youth in New York City in the ’70s. The show blends different musical styles, from pop to hip-hop and jazz to reggae, while asking why children can’t remain children.
