Parkland Stages "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels"

Musical comedy, directed by Frank Anonia, is over the top in fun.

This week, Parkland High School students will present the musical comedy "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels," the story of two con men who try to out-con each other in a romp in the French Rivera.

Performances will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 7, and Friday, April 8; and at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 9.

"This is a lot lighter than what we've done in the past," said Frank Anonia, who is directing the production. "This is also a heavy dance show, which is something unusual to Parkland."
