CURRENT CAST LIST
Director’s Note:
I want to thank everyone that came out to audition for Willy Wonka Jr. We had almost 60 people audition! Unfortunately, as is often the case, there were more actors than parts. I look forward to working with this cast and also seeing some of you at future auditions!
Director of Willy Wonka Jr. - Emily Richman
Artistic Director’s Note:
