WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Floridant -- (South Florida – May 11, 2023) Gary Schweikhart, board president of the Carbonell Awards, South Florida's Theatre & Arts Honors, today announced the three young winners of the 2023 Jack Zink Memorial Student Scholarships.
"The Jack Zink Memorial Scholarships are awarded to graduating high school seniors who have achieved a minimum 2.5 GPA and are intending to enroll in college to pursue a degree in theater or journalism. Each of the three winners will receive $2,000 when they have enrolled in college,"
Diane Danyang Li – Broward County
A senior at American Heritage School in Plantation, Diane Danyang Li has been studying music since she was 5, when her mother discovered her interpreting Katy Perry. After taking classes in vocal, piano, violin, and dance (ballet and jazz), she started performing in shows at school and at Actors' Playhouse at Miracle Theatre (Into the Woods, Addams Family, Shrek the Musical). "I dream of becoming a luminary for other aspiring Asian actors by originating new musical stories that tell of the Asian American experience… for future generations of minority actors," she writes.

"Being able to bring my passion for theater into the classroom and using it as a space to take risks and become a more human and truthful performer is something that I cherish and hope to continue for the rest of my life as an artist," she writes.

With experience in both performance and production designer, Addison Doris Stone attends Coral Reef Senior High School in Palmetto Bay.
