Congratulations to 11th grader Ashleigh Martin for being selected for major acting roles in two local musical theatre productions this spring and for being selected to perform this summer as part of the Ocean City Theatre Company’s Show Choir.
The 5th grade class had the opportunity to see Ashleigh perform on stage this week when they took a field trip March 23 to see a musical adaptation of the Holocaust-themed story “Number the Stars” at the Shirat Hayam Synagogue in Ventnor. The class had studied the Newbery award-winning book “Number the Stars” and done poster projects. Ashleigh performed the role of Lise, the older sister who was killed in the resistance movement in Denmark. This is the second year Ashleigh has been part of the cast. From June 27-30, Ashleigh will be starring as Kim McAfee in the Margate Players’ production of “Bye, Bye Birdie.” As part of the Ocean City Theatre Company’s Show Choir, Ashleigh will be performing at the Night in Venice, the Baby Parade, and Broadway Brunch. Ashleigh is a member of the ACS High School Chorale and the “Take Note” vocal ensemble.
