Broadway Ray Makes Sure

BCCT Cast is Heard Loud & Clear

BRICK, NJ – “Broadway Ray” Soehngen has done it again! When BCCT set out to raise $25,000 to expand their wireless microphone system in hopes that their entire cast could be heard “Loud & Clear” for all future performances, Broadway Ray could not resist the urge to get involved, changing those hopes into reality.

As part of the OceanFirst Charity Challenge run April 18 – May 16, where NJ non-profits are invited to compete to raise money for their respective organizations, BCCT launched the “Loud & Clear” Campaign to raise $25,000 in honor of the organization’s 25th Anniversary. Broadway Ray, a long-time benefactor of BCCT and one of its 25th Anniversary Season Sponsors, quickly jumped in to set up Broadway Ray’s Triple Play.

Through Broadway Ray’s Triple Play challenge, BCCT supporters’ donations of $8,333 were generously matched by Soehngen, then matched again by Soehngen’s former employer GE’s matching funds program through the GE Foundation. Because of Soehngen, BCCT raised the $25,000 needed to equip each child with a microphone so every voice can be heard.

Soehngen resides in Brick and shares his love of theater by organizing bus trips to Broadway shows in New York City. A proud supporter of the Arts and Theater in our community, Broadway Ray generously supports not only BCCT, but also the Algonquin Arts Theater, Ocean County Vocational/Technical Performing Arts Academy and Exit 82 Theatre Company, to name a few.

You can hear BCCT’s cast “Loud & Clear” at their next performance of Peter Pan at the Historic Strand Theater July 28-30.

Ticket prices are $14 for children 12 and under, $16 for students and seniors, and $18 for adults, plus a $1.50 service fee per ticket. The show runs approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes with intermission. Per the Strand's ticket policy, all attendees need a ticket regardless of age. No strollers or carriages will be allowed inside the theater.
