At the age of 10, Ava was thrilled to join the 2016-2017 National Tour of ANNIE as the orphan “Kate.” Over the course of seven months, she performed over 180 times in close to 87 cities across the United States and in Canada. It was the last tour directed by ANNIE lyricist Martin Charnin.
Her other credits include performing with the Atlanta School of the Performing Arts as a featured soloist at both Carnegie Hall in New York City (2016) and Walt Disney World in Buena Vista, Florida (2015). She has also performed in multiple Atlanta-area shows at Young Actors Playhouse, Dallas Theatre, and Impact Dance of Atlanta. One of her favorite local roles was as LeFou in Beauty and the Beast, Jr.
With six years of private vocal coaching, Ava loves to sing both on stage and at home. Her dance experience includes training in ballet, pointe, tap, jazz, hip-hop, and musical theatre.
