"Willy Wonka" Show Searching For Kids and Teens
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. Seeking kids and teens for "Willy Wonka" show. See the details below. About the project: Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka follows enigmatic candy manufacturer, Willy Wonka, as he stages a contest by hiding golden tickets in five of his scrumptious candy bars. Whomever comes up with 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 insufferable brats: the fifth is a likeable young 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. Additional info: WHAT TO PREPARE: Prepare a 32-bar cut (about 1 minute) of a musical theatre song.

Callbacks will be held on July 22 by invitation only and may include reading from the script, singing from the show, and a movement audition. If you are interested, please apply.
