School of Theatre: Runaways

Join CFA School of Theatre for the musical, Runaways, a collection of songs, dances, and spoken-word pieces performed by youth who have run away from their homes. 

Initially created from interviews with homeless children and those in orphanages, Liz 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. Nominated for five Tony Awards and three Drama Desk Awards when first produced in 1978.
