🎭💙🐶

It's hard to believe that next Tuesday is the final show in our 2024 Children’s Theatre Series.

Inspired by The New York Times best-selling author John O’Hurley’s book The Perfect Dog, Sam, a twelve-year-old perfectionist, searches for a flawless dog to enter the town’s dog contest. Unable to find a canine that measures up, Sam must resort to training the family dog, Max, who is less than eager to obey commands. In the end, Sam and Max learn that there is no such thing as perfect, but there is such a thing as being perfect for each other.

In a special collaboration, $1.00 from every ticket sold will be donated to the Humane Society of Ocean City

Show time is 10:30 am on Tuesday, July 30th. Tickets are $11 in advance and $13 on the day of the show.

To purchase your tickets, visit oceancitytheatrecompany.com.

Angel is featured in the original Broadway cast recording and was a featured performer at the 76th Annual Tony Awards—a performing artist born and raised in México and the suburbs of Philadelphia. A proud Dreamer (DACA recipient), Angel is delighted to return to Ocean City, NJ, with OCTC. In 2016, Angel got his first professional gig with OCTC, playing Chino in West Side Story. They also returned to OCTC three more times as Paul in A Chorus Line, Pepper in Mamma Mia!, and Spot Conlon in Newsies. Angel is a graduate of the Musical Theatre program at Temple University in Philadelphia. Angel also performed in the return of ¡Viva! Broadway at Curtain Up!

Other favorite credits: Woof (Hair - Two River Theatre), Epifanio (Mushroom - People’s Light), and A Streetcar Named Desire (Arden Theatre Company).
