Zoe saw her first Pelican production at the age of seven and she knew she had found something she wanted to do. At eight she did her first Music Theatre Camp (MTC) and twelve years later she is just as in love with performing as when she first began.
“There is something so exhilarating about putting on show in just under two weeks. I still get amazed at how we do it and it looks incredible on stage” she says. Zoe finds it hard to choose a favourite show because every camp brings something unique and special, giving her the opportunity to grow as a performer and a leader. “I have been given roles I never thought I could do or achieve, and with the help of the fantastic tutors and the support of my peers, I manage to get up on stage and do it every time” Zoe says.
Zoe encourages those considering doing MTC to “just do it – you won’t regret it!” citing the reason she has come back every year for 12 years is because it’s the best thing she’s ever done. “I have also made some lifelong friends here at camp and I always look forward to spending two weeks with them, doing what we love” she says.
Zoe is currently studying drama/music theatre in a teaching degree at Flinders University. She would love to eventually teach music theatre and be involved in amateur theatre shows. Zoe dreams of performing professionally in music theatre, “maybe one day” she says.
Approaching her last show, Zoe says it’s strange to think how she used to be in awe of the older seniors, and now she’s doing her final show. “I get quite emotional thinking about this being my last show. I have been here since I was 8, and now I am one of the oldest campers. I am so grateful and excited that for my final show I get to play a dream role of mine, Elsa from FROZEN, and upgrade from belting “Let It Go” in the car, to finally performing it on stage”.
We have watched you grow over the last twelve years into an accomplished performer and leader Zoe. We wish you all the best for your bright future in performing arts, both as a teacher and performer.
See Zoe on stage in the Broadway cast of Brand New Day, January 9-17, Anzac Hall, Prince Alfred College Theatre.
