BarnArts Summer Youth Theatre Institute 2014
To Stage Roald Dahl's WILLY WONKA, JR.
At Barnard Town Hall
BARNARD, VT -- BarnArts Summer Youth Theatre Institute 2014 is staging Willy Wonka, Jr, a youth version of the 1971 film, Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, August 8-10 at Barnard Town Hall.

The story is based on the 1964 book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl, which depicts the life of the eccentric Willy Wonka, a famed chocolatier who creates an elaborate plot in order to leave his factory to a good hearted child. Only five short years after the book hit the shelves, it was adapted into a screenplay and the classic Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory was born. The Junior version includes the same, lively characters but with more songs to inspire a musical ambience and theatrical twist. The themes include optimism, the importance of gracious behavior, honesty, and class consciousness/conflict.
