Lincoln School Presents Willy Wonka
Lincoln School in Garwood Presents Willy
Wonka
Roald
Dahl’s timeless story of the world-famous candy man and his quest to find an
heir comes to life in Lincoln School’s production of Willy Wonka under
the direction of Music and Theatre Arts teacher, Armando Gonzalez. This
gender bending adaptation follows the mysterious candy manufacturer Willy Wonka,
played by Emma Knutson, as she
stages a contest by hiding five golden tickets in five of her scrumptious candy
bars. Whoever comes up with these tickets will win a free tour of the Wonka
factory, as well as a lifetime supply of candy. Four of the children, played by
Cheyenne Doggett, Tristan Challis, Brandon Domingues, and Carly Collins are insufferable brats. The fifth child is a likeable young lad named Charlie
Bucket, played by Owen Graham. He takes the tour in the company of his equally
amiable grandfather, played by Victor Defilippo. The children must learn to
follow Ms. Wonka's rules in the factory--or suffer the consequences.
