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.

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.
