Casting Dreams is a Geelong–based performing arts initiative dedicated to ensuring every young person regardless of financial circumstances, has the opportunity to access quality performance education where talent should never be limited by a your financial situation.

On Friday 10 July, Casting Dreams is hosting Dream Big! This inaugural Benefit Evening is the flagship fundraising event of the year. Profits from every ticket purchased, and every donation made on the night goes directly toward scholarship for aspiring young performers across the Geelong region, giving them the training, confidence, and opportunity they deserve.

Casting Dreams founder, Daniel, joined me in the studio to talk about the upcoming fundraiser along with some of the other work he does with Casting Dreams.

At just 14 years old, Daniel is an inspiration for many and is determined to help more young people feel the joy of live performance.

Tickets to Dream Big are available here.
