Ocean City Theatre Company Sets 15th Annual Broadway Brunch

OCEAN CITY, NJ — Ocean City Theatre Company is inviting community members, patrons and supporters to its 15th Annual Broadway Brunch on Sunday, July 19, at 11:30 a.m. at The Flanders Hotel. The annual event is the nonprofit theater company's signature fundraiser and brings together theater supporters for entertainment, recognition and brunch.

According to OCTC, this year's Star of the Show Honorees are David Nahan, The Lloyd Family and Reverend G. Douglas Eberly. The organization said each honoree has shown a strong commitment to community service, civic engagement and support for the performing arts in Ocean City.

OCTC will also recognize several members of the Class of 2026 for contributions to the organization through productions, educational programs and community outreach. The graduating seniors being recognized are Samantha Friedman, Emma Kuzinski and Sophia Matyas.

Guests are also expected to see a performance by Skyler Raye Noyes, whom OCTC described as an OCTC and regional theatre favorite. Noyes is also scheduled to appear this summer in OCTC's Broadway Series production of Sister Act, according to the organization.

"The Broadway Brunch is one of our favorite traditions because it allows us to celebrate the incredible people who make our work possible," said Michael Hartman, artistic director of Ocean City Theatre Company. "From dedicated community leaders and longtime supporters to the talented young artists who have grown up with OCTC, this event highlights the spirit of generosity, creativity, and community that defines our organization."

Proceeds from the brunch support OCTC productions, educational programs, scholarships and community outreach initiatives. The organization said the fundraiser helps keep arts experiences accessible to residents and visitors of all ages.

"This summer event literally fuels our nonprofit organization," Hartman added. "OCTC cannot operate without events like this, and we hope our fans—and potential new fans—will help make our 15th annual brunch a smashing success."

Tickets are $75 per person and must be purchased by July 10. Tickets and sponsorship opportunities are available at oceancitytheatrecompany.com. Payments made payable to OCTC may also be mailed to Ocean City Theatre Company, 1501 West Avenue, Ocean City, NJ 08226.
