Winter 2026 Theatre Production

Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka JR. brings the beloved story to life as mysterious candy maker Willy Wonka launches a golden ticket contest hidden inside five of his famous candy bars. The lucky winners earn a once-in-a-lifetime tour of the Wonka factory—and a lifetime supply of candy. Along the way, four spoiled children learn hard lessons about behavior and consequences, while kind-hearted Charlie Bucket and his devoted grandfather discover that honesty and humility are the greatest rewards of all.

Small Fall Theatre

Small Fall Theatre Productions offer a unique opportunity for performers ages 10 through adult to share the stage together—making it a true family theatre experience. Designed for teens, adults, and even parents who want to participate alongside their children, Small Fall blends creativity, collaboration, and community into one welcoming production.

This program emphasizes inclusive casting, ensemble storytelling, and the joy of live performance, regardless of prior experience. Participants develop skills in acting, movement, and stage presence while building confidence and meaningful connections across generations. Whether you’re stepping on stage for the first time or returning to theatre after years away, Small Fall provides a supportive environment where everyone plays an important role.

Theatre Camps & Workshops

Our Theatre Camps and Workshops introduce young performers to the magic of the stage through age-appropriate classes and hands-on experiences. Preschool workshops (ages 3–5) focus on movement, music, and imaginative play inspired by popular stories, while older participants (ages 6–14) build confidence through vocal warmups, acting exercises, theatre games, and choreography. Select camps also explore behind-the-scenes roles such as directing, set design, props, and choreography, giving students a well-rounded look at how a production comes together. Many sessions conclude with a mini-performance, allowing participants to shine on stage and celebrate what they’ve learned.
