Pure Imagination!
We are excited to announce open enrollment for
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory TYA
This fall, join us for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory TYA, the magical musical based on Roald Dahl's beloved classic. When the mysterious Willy Wonka opens the gates to his legendary chocolate factory, Charlie Bucket and four lucky Golden Ticket winners set off on an unforgettable adventure filled with chocolate waterfalls, mischievous squirrels, Oompa-Loompas, and the incredible Great Glass Elevator.
Featuring iconic songs like "The Candy Man," "I've Got a Golden Ticket," "Pure Imagination," and the "Oompa Loompa Song,"this production combines the nostalgia of the classic story with a fresh, high-energy theatrical experience with NEW SONGS.
Whether you're hoping to play the eccentric Willy Wonka, one of the unforgettable Golden Ticket winners, an energetic Oompa-Loompa, or one of the many colorful characters that bring the factory to life, this ensemble show has incredible opportunities for performers ages **13–18**.
Come discover if you have what it takes to earn a Golden Ticket and bring Wonka's world to life on stage!

We’re moving our show communication from Facebook groups to the BAND App!
BAND is widely used by schools and teams, and we’re confident it will provide a more organized and streamlined way to stay connected.
Each production will have its own private BAND group for all schedules, updates, and announcements.

Request to join the group
Please include your student’s name and production in your request so we can approve you. All groups require approval to keep communication limited to current cast families.
