Stage Artz Performing Arts School

I congratulate Stage Artz Performing Arts School on its 2026 production of Disney's Frozen at Glen Street Theatre, supporting the Sydney Children's Hospitals Foundation. Since 2003, Stage Artz has donated all profits from its annual charity musicals to support the Children's Hospital at Westmead. Before this year's production, those efforts had already raised more than $400,000. That is an absolutely incredible and extraordinary contribution. Well done. I commend director Sam Neaves and the cast, including leads Ali Perry, Laura Neaves, Patrick Kelly, Jake Rouland, Carlo Ani and Cameron Neaves. I also thank the orchestra, the production team, the volunteers and families whose hard work brought this story to the stage. Somehow it was my first time ever seeing Frozen—my bad. I congratulate everyone at Stage Artz and thank them for their immense efforts and incredible generosity. I am a very proud patron.
