Melody Lane brings ‘Chorus Line’ to Cultural Park Theatre Kody Jones directs ‘Bulletproof Backback’ for Centers for Performing Arts
Ava Stoeberl
Ava Stoeberl plays Val Clarke in Melody Lane Theatre’s production of A Chorus Line. Her iconic number in the show is “Dance: Ten, Looks: Three,” in which she clashes openly with another auditioner, Shiela, about The Red Shoes and other matters. Stoeberl seems particularly suited to the role.
Previous stage credits include Eponine in Les Miserables (Melody Lane Theatre), Reno in Anything Goes, Jane Banks in 
Mary Poppins the Broadway Musical (Broadway Palm), Annie in Annie Jr. (Oasis), Gingy in Shrek Jr., the narrator in Aladdin Jr., Wickersham Brother in Seussical Jr. as well as Dory and Pan. Ava has been performing in school and community theater musicals since third grade, including at the Junior Theater Festival in Atlanta.
