A Star in the Making!

This July, Audrey's wish 'to put on a show for a HUGE audience' will take centre stage at the Rebel Theatre in Sydney

Eight-year-old Audrey has always loved the spotlight. Whether it’s backyard productions or lounge room concerts, she’s been putting on shows for as long as her family can remember—often joined by her brother Oliver, and her best friend and creative partner, Eve.

Now, Audrey’s biggest wish is about to come true: to write, direct, and star in her own original stage production—and perform it for a huge audience.

Thanks to a creative collaboration with the Australian Theatre for Young People (ATYP), Audrey’s wish is well on its way to becoming reality. In July 2025, Audrey will debut her original play, 'Escape of the Animals', at the Rebel Theatre in Sydney.

The journey is already in full swing. The script is written, the casting call is complete, and Audrey’s costume is in production. With support from the Make-A-Wish community and guidance from theatre professionals, Audrey is learning first-hand what it takes to bring a story to life on stage.

This special partnership with ATYP is more than just a wish—it’s an empowering experience that’s giving Audrey the tools, confidence, and platform to share her creativity with the world.

Audrey’s story is a shining example of the life-changing power of a wish. As she prepares for opening night, you can help make the experience even more enchanting.
