Steel River Playhouse is proud to partner with The Community Music School in Trappe, PA for a performance workshop of Willy Wonka, JR.  The cast will be a combination of students from both communities and rehearse twice a week starting March 18th and have 3 performances in June. This will be two performances on the Steel River Playhouse stage and one Concert Version of the show at The Community Music School.

For Ages 5th - 12th grades

Director: Mary Ann Rutkowski

Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka JR. follows enigmatic candy manufacturer Willy Wonka as he stages a contest by hiding golden tickets in five of his scrumptious candy bars. Whomever 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 five winning children are insufferable brats, but the fifth is a likeable young lad named Charlie Bucket, who takes the tour in the company of his equally amiable grandfather. The children must learn to follow Mr. Wonka's rules in the factory — or suffer the consequences.

The classic story tells of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped under the spell of an enchantress.

If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.

Shrek, Jr.

Once upon a time, in a far away swamp, there lived an ogre named Shrek.  One day, Shrek finds his swamp invaded by banished fairytale misfits who have been cast off by Lord Farquaad, a tiny terror with big ambitions. When Shrek sets off with a wisecracking donkey to confront Farquaad, he's handed a task — if he rescues feisty princess Fiona, his swamp will be righted.
