Summer Arts Academy Showcase: Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka Jr.

The Glema Center's 2025 High School Summer Arts Academy presents a showcase performance of Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka JR. on Saturday, June 14, at 7:00 pm!

The delicious adventures of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory light up the stage in this captivating adaptation of Roald Dahl's fantastical tale. Featuring the enchanting songs from the 1971 film, in addition to a host of fun new songs, Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka JR. is a scrumdidilyumptious musical guaranteed to delight everyone's sweet tooth.

Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka JR. 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, but 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.

This performance is free and open to the community, and tickets are not required. Patrons requiring accessible seating are encouraged to reserve in advance by contacting the Glema Center office at 270-821-2787 or VG9ieSAhIFJvYmVydHMgfCBrY3RjcyAhIGVkdQ== .

Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka JR. is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International.
