Rowan University's Marie Rader Series presents An Afternoon with Ali Stroker on December 15th

originally published: 11/11/2024

(GLASSBORO, NJ) -- New Jersey's own Tony Award-winner Ali Stroker will perform an afternoon concert of Broadway favorites as part of Rowan University's Marie Rader Presenting Series, Sunday, December 15, 2024 at 2:00pm in Pfleeger Concert Hall.

Known for her work as a singer, author, and stage and screen actress with appearances on shows like Only Murders in the Building and Ozark, Stroker is the first wheelchair user to be nominated for and win a Tony Award in 2019. She won her Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical for her role as 'Ado Annie' in Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma! and made history as the first actor in a wheelchair to appear on Broadway in Deaf West’s acclaimed 2015 revival of Spring Awakening.

While at Rowan, Stroker will host a musical theatre masterclass for students, some of whom will be invited to join her on stage to sing a few songs during her performance. Additionally, the Marie Rader Series will bring Stroker off campus for a meet and greet with middle and high school-aged participants of South Jersey Youth Arts and Haddonfield Plays and Players’ OnStage youth theatre program.

Tickets are available for purchase online. Pfleeger Concert Hall is located at 529 Robinson Circle in Glassboro, New Jersey. Pfleeger Concert Hall is a wheelchair-accessible venue that offers assisted listening devices, large print programs, and welcomes service animals. Additional details and accommodation requests for audience members with disabilities are accepted via go.rowan.edu/patronaccessibility.

The matinee performance will offer ASL interpretation and a discounted ticket process to deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences.

Focused on community engagement, artistic integrity, and inclusion, the Marie Rader Presenting Series is a mission-driven program providing access to exceptional performances and artist engagements to the university community and Greater Southern New Jersey region.

The 2024-2025 season brings artists to Rowan who are not only recognized around the globe, but are no strangers to some of the most prominent stages in the United States, including the Kimmel Center, Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, Broadway, and beyond. Programming highlights universally relevant messages of resilience through community, turning limitations into opportunities, cultural understanding across differences, and giving nature a voice to speak for itself.

The 2024-2025 Marie Rader Series also includes Timbalooloo: Jazz for Kids, and Chanticleer: Music of a Silent World.

The Marie Rader Presenting Series is made possible in part through generous support from the Henry M. Rowan Family Foundation via the Marie Rader Memorial Fund and through funding from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts.
