WILLY WONKA JR CAST

Thank you to all who attended our audition week! This is the toughest casting to date! For those who did not get cast, please know how hard it was to make these decisions because of the immense talent we saw from every single person. We would love to see you come out again next year or see you as an integral part of this production as crew.

For those being cast, please check the tentative rehearsal calendar and plan on attending the first rehearsal on Thursday January 16th at 2:30pm in room 111. Make sure you sign the cast list posted outside room 111 before Wednesday January 15th to accept your role in the production.
