Ali Stroker is the total package.
The Ridgewood actress can act, sing and is overflowing with charisma. Stroker is making a career for herself — she's been in several productions at the noted Surflight Theatre in Beach Haven this year — and has dreams of making it to Broadway.
Don't let the fact that 19-year-old Stroker is confined to wheelchair make you think she can't make it.
"I want to keep performing onstage," said Stroker, a sophomore year at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. "I love acting and singing and my dream is to be on Broadway. Whether or not it will happen, we'll see."
Stroker, who is paralyzed from the waist down due to a car accident when she was 2, feels that audiences are ready to accept physically challenged performers onstage in new works as opposed to revivals.
