Other Community Theater in the area... ORPHAN
PRODUCTIONS, INC. TO STAGE TWO SENSATIONAL SUMMER YOUTH SHOWS! Please mark your calendars and plan on joining OPI for both of their summer youth productions! Read on for details…… “Come
with me
and
you’ll see
a
land of pure
imagination!” Orphan
Productions, Inc. invites the young and young-at-heart to join five lucky “Golden
Ticket” winners as they take a magical and mystical tour of a very special
chocolate factory in Willy Wonka Junior.
Three performances are set to run July
17th, 18th and 20th on the stage of the Maumee Indoor Theater. Forty talented children, ages 8-15, will bring Roald Dahl’s classic story of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to life. Plan to enjoy classic songs like The Golden Age of Chocolate, The Candy Man, Ooompa Loompa, and Pure Imagination. With a score written by Leslie Briscusse and Anthony Newley, this show is sure to please every audience member as the story transports them to a funny, fascinating and fabulous world where nothing is really as it seems. Plan to sail down the Chocolate River, visit The Inventing Room, fly in The Fizzy Lifting Room, and cheer for hero Charlie Bucket as he and Grandpa Joe make their way through the somewhat wacky but always wonderful world of Willy Wonka! Important life lessons will also be learned from favorite characters Augustus Gloop, Violet Beauregarde, Mike Teavee, and Veruca Salt.
