Sunny Martinez

Sunny Martinez has had a passion for the performing arts since he was a wee one.  His talent was first discovered when he started memorizing stories on tape word for word at the age of 9 and reciting them to several classrooms at his school, Douglas City Elementary.

He has since participated in several school and community theatrical presentations throughout Trinity and Shasta counties as an actor, singer, dancer, and musician.  He is currently based in Douglas City, California.  Most recently, he starred in a student film, "Snappers!", at Chico State University.  Some of his recent theatrical highlights include Gibson (Mr. Burns, a Post-Electric Play), Basilius (Head Over Heels), understudying Cliff Bradshaw and Ernst Ludwig (Cabaret), and an appearance in Northstate Symphony’s production of “The Soldier’s Tale.”  He was recently cast in Musical of Musicals as The Villain at Axiom Repertory Theatre.

He’s earned a BFA Musical Theatre degree at Chico State University with minors in music and dance, an AA-Transfer Degree for Theatre Arts at Shasta College, and studied physical theatre at the Dell’Arte International Summer Intensive in Blue Lake, CA.  He will eventually move to NYC to pursue Broadway.  He has already visited NYC to perform his college senior showcase for agents and casting directors.  His other interests include reading novels, researching musicals and plays, and dabbling in music composition, orchestration, and video editing.
