MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – The end-of-year play at Norland Middle School in Miami Gardens included special highlights this year: award-winning actors.
Jaden Piner and Alex Hibbart starred in "Moonlight," the Miami-based film that won an Oscar for Best Picture.
On Thursday, they had roles in a mashup of performances that included vignettes from "Hamilton" and "Hairspray."
The seventh graders told Local 10 they were thrilled Norland is getting attention for being a special school for performing arts.
The head of the drama program, Tanisha Cidel, said there is a lot of untapped talent in Miami-Dade County. She will be running a workshop over the summer for anyone interested in the performing arts.
