GIRL OF THE MONTH
MADDIE DENNISON
Maddie is an 18-old-year actress,
singer and dancer
How has acting,
singing and being
involved in musical
theatre shaped your
life thus far?
It has honestly made
me a more open and
confident person than I
ever thought I would be. I
am so grateful that I have
had something like
musical theater to
discover who I am and the
type of person I want to
be. I knew going into
musical theater that I
would have to be
vulnerable if I was going
to succeed in it and even
though it can be scary,
learning how to be
completely open on-stage
has helped me off-stage
more than I ever thought
it would.
What do you feel is
one of the biggest
pressures for teen
girls in today’s
society? Have you ever
had to deal with this
issue? If so, how did
you overcome it?
Self-image and
confidence. Society builds
girls up to look and act a
certain way, when really
you are just destroying the
uniqueness that we all
have.
