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:

As Emily mentioned there were far, far more talented kids then we could possilby cast. If you didn’t make into this show we do HIGHLY recommend you check out our classes and performance groups. Both Stardust and Troupers are looking for new middle school members, our elementary aged after school drama club Ensemble will start Seussical in a couple weeks too. There’s always room to learn and grow here at ACT please email me at josh@actstaff.org and we’d be happy to find a great fit your student!! :)
