Their performances brought storybook favourites to life on stage during Story Book Academy's theatre showcase featuring Pinocchio, Snow White, Peter Pan and Maleficent. The shows were staged by the all-child cast from diverse backgrounds, marking a milestone for the academy's growing performing arts community. The strong turnout was a mark of pride for the academy's mission of nurturing creativity, confidence and collaboration through storytelling and theatre. A special highlight was the staging of Maleficent, which featured four students from the Dignity for Children Foundation who received the academy's performing arts scholarship. In addition to Kaeley Ng Mei Shuen, three students – Aviela Nkechiamara Chukwu, Raoul Lee Tzyy Hao and Casey Chee Seng Quan were returning scholars. 'We're thrilled that so many families came to cheer on the children,' said academy director Jeanisha Wan. 'Our focus has always been on creating joyful, meaningful experiences through stories, not perfect performances, but real growth in confidence, imagination and connection.' The event also saw returning students take on emcee roles and ended with a mini 'Oscar Award' ceremony to recognise outstanding performers from past productions. Since its founding in 2020, The Story Book Academy has staged productions in malls and theatres, offering children opportunities to perform publicly and develop storytelling and roleplay skills.
