Mandy Christopher, co-director, 6th grade social studies teacher and theatre sponsor, said students are practicing three days weekly from 3 to 4:30 p.m.
“Come see the mysterious candy manufacturer, Willy Wonka (played by Hannah Ivy), as he stages a contest by hiding a golden ticket into five of his delicious candy bars,” said Mrs. Christopher.
“The lucky people who discover these tickets will win a free tour of the Wonka factory, as well as a lifetime supply of chocolate.
Practice pictures from “Willy Wonka Jr.”
“As it turns out, four of the five golden ticket winners are unbearable to be around, but the fifth golden ticket winner is a very likeable young boy (played by Toby Harrell), who takes the tour along with his grandfather.
“The children learn they must follow the rules in the factory, or suffer the consequences.”
