Judge Story’s Theatrical Troupe is holding auditions for their December 3, 4, 5 children’s theatre
production of Roald Dahl’s WILLY WONKA. The try-outs will be held Sunday, September 19
from 1:00-4:30 in the vocal music room at the Roland-Story Elementary School.

Roald Dahl’s WILLY WONKA T.Y.A. is a musical version of his classic Charlie and the
Chocolate Factory book. A large cast of both kids (up to 40 roles) and adults (10-14 roles) is
required to tell this delightful story. Children must be at least 6 years old by September 1st to
participate in this production. Rehearsals will be held at the elementary building during the
months of October and November – usually in the early evening on weekdays (no Wednesdays
and usually just once or twice a week in the beginning) and on a few Sunday afternoons.
Parents of children participating will be required to assist with supervision for a few rehearsals
and at least one of the three performances.

JSTT membership ($5 single or $10 family) is required for participation in any Troupe
production. There may also be some expense for costuming.

Auditioning younger children will be required to recite the “Pledge of Allegiance” and to sing
the “Alphabet Song” by themselves. Adults and older kids will be asked to read from a script
and to sing a portion of “God Bless America” or “The Star Spangled Banner.”

Cathy Hermanson will be directing Roald Dahl’s WILLY WONKA for the Troupe. Please contact
her (515-419-1171 or cathy@50248.net for further information.
