Ava Bales

Ava Bales is 17 years old and is a junior drama major at the Professional Performing Arts School (PPAS) in New York City. She is so excited to be joining the Girl Be Heard cast for the 2022-2023 year. As a second generation Holocaust survivor, Ava is committed to being an active and loud voice for those who are unable to have one, especially in the Jewish community. Ava’s last work was seen in the play ROE written by Lisa Loomer where she played Linda Coffee. She was also seen starring in the First Last, with the NYU Theatre Youth Ensemble. Ava is extremely grateful to be a part of this amazing community and movement and hope others feel inspired from watching this creative work. Ava hopes to pursue her passion of performing theater throughout college and the rest of her life.
