Goosebumps. Tears. Pure inspiration. 💫✨
Yesterday, the Ovation Academy of Arts’ JTF West team delivered a breathtaking performance of She Persisted, inspired by Chelsea Clinton’s powerful book. Through every note, every step, and every word, these young performers reminded us that resilience, courage, and determination can change the world.
They told the stories of fearless women who refused to give up, who pushed forward despite the odds, and who paved the way for future generations. And last night, they became those trailblazers—lighting up the stage with strength, passion, and heart.
To the incredible cast: Your voices matter. Your dreams matter. And yesterday, you proved that you are the future. 🌟💜 #juniortheaterfestival #disneybroadway juniortheaterfestival
