This week I will be posting articles about different people in our Stake making some great achievements. If you know anyone who is doing something great we would love to hear about it so we can write about it and share.

Capalaba Ward’s Dakota Striplin, is backing up his
appearance on the popular TV show The Voice with a lead role in the perennial
musical Hairspray. Although Dakota never did formal dance training, he did
dance at school and managed to garner the role of slick teen heart throb Link
Larkin, the object of affection for lead character Tracy Turnblad.
The 17-year-old has come a long way since first taking to
the stage at the Redland Bay Hotel for Busking by the Bay in 2008, when he was
14. Since then, he's won a string of awards, dazzled audiences
around the country singing at FretFest and on The Voice, cut a CD of his own
compositions, starred in the Lord Mayor's Christmas Carols, played a
stage-version of Harry Potter and even finished his high school certificate.
Dakota also plans to broaden his horizons by performing at
the TeenHoot Hootfest, in Nashville, Tennessee, in July of this year.
