Ocean City Theatre Company (OCTC) invites community members, patrons and supporters to attend its 15th Annual Broadway Brunch on Sunday, July 19, at 11:30 a.m. at The Flanders Hotel.
The Broadway Brunch is OCTC’s signature fundraising event, bringing together theatre lovers, community leaders and supporters for an afternoon of entertainment, celebration and recognition of individuals whose dedication has helped strengthen the arts and enrich the Ocean City community. Guests will also enjoy a delicious and extensive, award-winning brunch, adding to the festive atmosphere of this signature summer tradition.
This year’s Star of the Show Honorees include David Nahan, The Lloyd Family and Reverend G. Douglas Eberly. Each honoree has demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to community service, civic engagement, and support for the performing arts.
In addition to honoring these distinguished community members, OCTC will celebrate several members of the Class of 2026 who have made lasting contributions to the organization through their participation in productions, educational programs and community outreach efforts. This year’s graduating seniors being recognized are Samantha Friedman, Emma Kuzinski and Sophia Matyas.
Guests will also enjoy a special performance by Skyler Raye Noyes, an OCTC and regional theatre favorite whose powerful performances have delighted audiences throughout the region. Noyes will also be featured this summer in OCTC’s Broadway Series production of Sister Act.
“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 Broadway Brunch support OCTC’s productions, educational programs, scholarships and community outreach initiatives, helping ensure that quality arts experiences remain accessible to residents and visitors of all ages.
“This summer event literally fuels our nonprofit organization,” added Hartman. “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.”
