Our first workshop of the summer fits into your July 4th weekend plans! This three week workshop meets June 27 – July 16 (M-F) and is open to rising 3-10 graders. Students will be cast, rehearse, tech and perform the sixty-minute Raold Dahl’s Willy Wonka JR! Get your “Golden Ticket” at the WPPAC Summer Theatre Academy!
Willy Wonka JR follows candyman Willy Wonka as he stages a contest by hiding five golden tickets in five of his candy bars. Whoever finds these tickets will win a free tour of the Wonka factory, as well as a lifetime supply of candy. Four of the five winning children are brats, but the fifth is a likeable lad named Charlie Bucket who takes the tour in the company of his equally amiable grandfather. The children must learn to follow Mr. Wonka’s rules in the factory–or suffer the consequences.
The delicious adventures experienced by Charlie Bucket on his visit to Willy Wonka’s mysterious chocolate factory light up the stage in this captivating adaptation of Roald Dahl’s fantastical tale. Featuring the enchanting songs from the 1971 film in addition to a host of fun new songs, this show is guaranteed to delight everyone’s sweet tooth. | Words and Music by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley | Adapted for the Stage by Leslie Bricusse and Timothy A. McDonald | Based on the Book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl
