WCT proudly presents Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Join Walpole Children's Theatre in their 35th year in a world of pure imagination.

WCT proudly presents Charlie and the Chocolate Factory adapted from the classic Roald Dahl tale by Richard George and Directed by Pete McElhinney.

Willy Wonka's up to something wickedly delicious, Join Charlie and the other Golden Ticket holders on a most off-the-wall tour of the world's greatest chocolate factory. In the beloved classic Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Willy Wonka has held a contest to select five golden ticket winners to tour his newly reopened Chocolate Factory. An astonishing journey begins when the young winners assemble with their chosen adult guests at the factory gates. Once inside, four of the children succumb to temptations expressly forbidden them by the zany and slightly maniacal Willy Wonka. Their outrageous and ghastly fates are echoed in rhyme by the fantastical factory workers, the Oompa-Loompas. In the end, Charlie stands alone to inherit rewards beyond his comprehension. In this fantastical theatrical staging, the four nasty children, Augustus, Violet, Veruca, and Mike are undone in the hyper-imagined Chocolate River, Invention Room, Nut Room, and Television Chocolate Room. And, just as many children and their families are familiar with Roald Dahl's literary masterpiece, either from the book or film, no one can be fully prepared for what surprises will magically await them at this WCT production.

Performances will be held at Walpole High School, Common Street, Walpole.
