Bring your imagination to
For all the chocolate lovers out there, this year’ s fall play might just be the most satisfying show you’ ll ever see. Make way for Roald Dahl’ s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, adapted by Richard George and Carlynton’ s own Tonilyn Jackson.
The cast of 30 represents a wide variety of student interests, including members of the band, chorus, the football, volleyball and soccer teams, cheer squad, national honor society, Best Buddies and robotics clubs. As rehearsals transpire, students are eagerly taking on iconic roles and working hard to convey a tale that is sure to bring a smile to audiences.
In leading roles, junior John Cantwell will portray Willy Wonka, adding his experience and talent to the stage alongside freshman Jaimee Cabili as Charlie Bucket, who brings energy and outside training to the role. Joining them are the seasoned Rachel Roach, a senior in the role of Mrs. Teavee, as well as seniors Kassi Longstreth and Stuart Dougherty as Mrs. Gloop and Agustus. Senior Nate Wilcox will depict Mr. Salt alongside junior Rachel Welsh as Veruca. Junior Ellie Davis will play Mrs. Beauregarde to sophomore Alexis Dixon as Violet, and junior Kurtus Mastandrea will perform the role of Mike Teavee.
With a fresh twist, the Carlynton version of the play will include four never-before-seen characters. Junior Tara Wade and senior Tyler Smith will star as WCHS news anchors while seniors Kalista Heidkamp and Makayla Rittmeyer will portray reporters who broadcast the happenings inside the factory.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory follows the adventures of five lucky golden ticket winners and the peculiar lessons learned inside a chocolate factory with a little help from grandparents, Oompa Loompas, and some good old fashioned imagination.
Performances run December 1-3 at 7pm and December 4th at 2pm. Tickets are $ 7 for adults and $ 5 for students. There will be a special ASL performance on December 4th.
The decision to present Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was announced in the spring of 2016. An adaption of the original novel written by Dahl, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, starred Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka in a 1971 film. Coincidentally, the unfortunate passing of Mr.
Wilder this past August occurred on the very day of auditions for the Carlynton cast.
Save the date and get your golden ticket to this year’ s show.“ In your wildest dreams you could not imagine such things could happen … just wait and see!” – Roald Dahl.
