Little did Maggie Smith know that being an annoyance to her parents would lead to a former Broadway star arriving on her front lawn to sing.
A freshman at Wylie High School in Wylie, Texas, a suburb about 30 minutes north of Dallas, Smith has been spending much of her quarantined life singing Broadway songs during the coronavirus pandemic.
It became such an issue for Smith’s mom, Michelle, that she nominated Maggie for a “Drive-by Referral” contest that the Wylie Intermediate School District decided to put on.
The district started the contest as a fun directive to help parents with kids who were causing some good-natured annoyances while being stuck at home during the pandemic.
