Majory Stoneman Douglas Drama Student, Sawyer Garrity, Joins 54 SINGS P!NK

Majory Stoneman Douglas student Sawyer Garrity has joined the lineup of 54 SINGS P!NK, August 19th, at Feinstein's/54 Below in New York City.

Garrity is a rising high school senior and co-wrote the song "Shine", with Andrea Pen?a, after surviving the February 14th Parkland shooting. The song has been endorsed by celebrities like Paul McCartney, Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, and more, and has become an anthem for the March For Our Lives movement. Garrity is also a spokesperson for Shine MSD, a student project designed to raise relief funds for victims and their families and provide mental health programs centered around the arts at Stoneman Douglas High School and Parkland.

Director and producer Benjamin Nissen says, "P!nk is one of this generation's most raw and trailblazing artists. She is known for not only her music, but also her passion for activism. According to Billboard, she had originally written her new song "Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken" for the 2015 film Suffragette. On Suffragette, P!nk says, 'You have to fight for what's rightly yours which is rights and respect and love and kindness and compassion and you have to be willing to die for it. These women were'. Since the events on February 14th, Sawyer Garrity and her fellow classmates at Stoneman Douglas High School have helped inspire a new generation of activists to raise awareness and demand action about gun violence. We could not be more excited to have Ms. Garrity join us for this event".

Garrity will be joined by previously announced Jasmine Cephas Jones (Hamilton), Daniel Quadrino (Wicked, Newsies), Krysta Rodriguez (The Addams Family), Amy Spanger (Rock of Ages), and more to be announced at a later date. Casting is subject to change.

The evening is directed and produced by Benjamin Nissen, and musical directed by Eli Zoller. Lauren Echausse is assistant director, projections will be designed by Robert W. Schneider, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit The Phyllis Newman Women's Health Initiative.

54 SINGS P!NK will be presented on August 19th, 2018 for two performances only - at 7:00PM and 9:30PM. Ticket prices start at $30 with a $25 food and beverage minimum. Feinstein's/54 Below is located at 254 W. 54th Street. For more information and tickets, call (646) 476-3551 or visit 54below.com/events/54-sings-pnk.
