Maddie's Dream
Help us get a talented teenager to represent NZ as part of Kiwi-All-Stars performance troupe USA in 2025.
Napier, Hawke's Bay
Maddie has been drawn to the stage from the age of about 3 years when she first danced on stage. She got a role as a street kid in Annie Jr with Napier Operatic Society when she was only 6 years old. Since then she has grown her talent in singing, acting and dance and has begun writing her own songs and accompanying herself on the keyboard. She is a hardworking, bright and talented girl with potential for so much!
This year she attended the NZ Junior Theatre Festival in Auckland with a group from Napier Operatic Society and they performed a piece from Moana Jr winning the Group Acting Award. Maddie and others then had the opportunity to audition to represent NZ in the Sacramento Junior Theatre Festival. With excitement, Maddie and 3 others from Napier were selected! But now we have to get them there and those under 16 years need to take a parent. A huge cost but a life-changing experience with Musical Theatre workshops in New York, workshops with industry professionals, shows on Broadway, Disney performing Arts class and so much more.
Can you help us get her there?
