NJ Native Who Was Broadway's First Wheelchair Bound Actor Expecting First Baby

The Ridgewood native, who became Broadway's first wheelchair-bound actor in 2015, is expecting her first child with husband David Perlow.

The couple made the announcement on their first wedding anniversary on Instagram, calling it a "dream come true."

"We are having a baby!!! The newest member of the team is arriving in November! A dream come true!!" the post reads.

Stroker grew up in New Jersey and became paralyzed at two years old due to a car crash that resulted in a spinal cord injury. That didn't stop her from fulfilling her dreams.

Stroker was the president of her senior class at Ridgewood High School and pursued a career in theater, having trained at the Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn, and later landing roles on Broadway and "Glee."
