Congratulations!
We are so proud to share that eleven of our Dare to Dream Jr cast members auditioned and were selected as members of Travel Gang's Kiwi All-Stars 2028 group! Heading off to either the bright lights of Broadway, New York City, or the West End in London in 2028, these teens will experience professional Broadway/West End workshops, perform at an international junior theatre festival, visit Disneyland (LA/Paris) and participate in a Disney performers workshop. Absolutely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
We are so very proud of our talented youth and wish them all the very best as they start their fundraising efforts.
