Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka Jr.

Step into a world of pure imagination in Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka JR.

July 24 – August 2

When mysterious candy maker Willy Wonka hides golden tickets in five of his delicious chocolate bars, only a lucky few will win a once-in-a-lifetime tour of his magical factory — and a lifetime supply of candy. Among the winners is young, kind-hearted Charlie Bucket, who embarks on a fantastical adventure with his beloved grandfather, encountering wondrous inventions, magical treats, and lessons in honesty and humility along the way.

Packed with songs from the classic 1971 film plus fun new numbers, this scrumdidilyumptious musical is a delight for the whole family – a dazzling, whimsical celebration of imagination, mischief, and chocolate!

WCT Academy Productions are tuition-based programs run by professional theatre artists and designers that provide our students with a hands-on experience in the theatre.

Cast 1:  July 24- 26

Cast 2: July 30 – August 2
