Le Petit's Summer Student Theatre - Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka Jr.

This summer, the Workforce Development program and the Young Conservatory will combine creative forces again to bring you the delicious adventures of Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka JR. at Le Petit Theatre!

In the mornings, Workforce Development students will learn from industry professionals in areas of scenic design, painting, costuming, prop making, lighting, and sound in order to design, construct, and run the production of Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka JR. Workforce Development Intensive available for rising 8th-12th Graders.

In the afternoons, Young Conservatory students will gather to learn audition and performance techniques and get ready for the Wonka factory tour. They’ll perform Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka JR. for family and friends after a SWEET summer of rehearsals under the direction of LPT’s Artistic Director, A.J. Allegra. Young Conservatory Intensive available for rising 3rd-12th Graders.
