Finding Your Voice: How Musical Theatre Teaches Confidence

From Broadway to local community productions, musicals like Wicked, The Lion King and Grease have captured the hearts of audiences worldwide with their close-knit casts, outstanding performances, infectious tunes and heart-warming messages. Musical Theatre no doubt has the power to inspire us, make us laugh and connect with our emotions. They are a true form of artistic expression that stretches beyond entertainment.

Living Waters Lutheran College is dedicated to developing the skills and confidence of our students in the Arts, Music, Drama, Visual Arts and Media by offering a number of programs, productions and exhibitions to showcase the talents of our students.

According to Elite Music Academy, not only does Musical Theatre have a long-lasting positive effect on audiences, but it also allows the performers to express themselves, develop their inner talents and provides a healthy foundation for development, confidence and self-expression through story-telling and performance.

Proven benefits students take away from participating in Musical Theatre include:

  • Enhanced concentration and memory abilities.
  • Elevated self-confidence and self-esteem through valuable and constructive peer feedback.
  • An outlet for fostering creative thinking and honing problem-solving.
  • Expanded social interactions and the development of lasting friendships.
  • Sustained physical and mental wellbeing.
  • Integration of work-based learning opportunities for a pursuing a career in the arts.

At Living Waters, we strive to nurture, challenge and inspire our students to showcase their talents and we are thrilled to announce this year’s College production, Bring It On: The Musical.

Bring It On: The Musical tells the story of Campbell Davis, a young cheerleader who dreams of leading her squad to victory at a National competition. Campbell’s future is secure: handsome boyfriend, a killer squad, and the newly awarded title of cheer captain. Suddenly, however, she is mysteriously reassigned to another school: the inner-city Jackson High, where she knows hardly anyone and worse: they don’t have a cheerleading squad! Despite the challenges of fitting in at a new school, Campbell befriends some tough girls on the dance squad and helps them become a powerhouse competitor for the National Cheerleading Championships.

This exciting production will be performed on Thursday 20, Friday 21, and Saturday 22 July at 7.00pm at the College’s Vlahov Gymnasium and Performing Arts Centre. We warmly invite you to secure tickets to Bring It On: The Musical for the whole family to enjoy: www.livingwaters.wa.edu.au/bring-it-on-production/
