Plot Overview

At first the Sycamores seem mad, but it is not long before you realize that if they are mad, then the rest of the world is madder.  Their life philosophy is to do what they enjoy.  In contrast to these delightful people are the very proper but unhappy Kirbys.  Tony, the attractive young son of the Kirbys, falls in love with Alice Sycamore and brings his parents to dine at the Sycamore house on the wrong evening.  The shock sustained by Mr. and Mrs. Kirby, who are invited to eat cheap food, shows Alice that marriage with Tony is out of the question.  The Sycamores find it hard to understand Alice’s view.  Tony knows the Sycamores live the right way with love and care for each other, while his own family is the one that’s crazy.  In the end, Mr. Kirby is converted to the happy madness of the Sycamores after he happens in during a visit by the ex-Grand Duchess of Russia, Olga Katrina, who is currently earning her living as a waitress.

WILLY WONKA – AUDITION INFORMATION

Auditions will be held on Saturday, April 28, 10-1 and 6-9, and Sunday, April 29, 2-5 at Pickerington Christian Church, 575 Diley Road. We will be casting various roles from child to adult. We will need singers and non-singers.

This musical is based on the 1971 movie “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”.

Should you wish to audition for a singing role you should prepare an audition song of at least 16 – 32 bars (no longer than 2 minutes). Please bring a CD for accompaniment or you may sing acapella. We will also have cold reading from the script should you wish to audition for a speaking role.

You may bring a resume and headshot if you wish but that is not required. We will have audition forms for you to fill out. You will then be assigned a number and have your picture taken (for the show production staff to refer back to when determining final casting).

This will be a large cast show so we will be looking for a lot of help both on and off stage. The show will be held at the theatre attached to Heritage Elementary school. Auditions and rehearsals will be held at a different location to minimize costs (we will move into the theatre for the final 2 weeks of rehearsal).

In the event that someone wishing to audition is not available to attend on one of the appointed dates, an early audition may be requested of the director. The early audition will be granted solely at the director’s discretion. The request for an early audition must be made no later than April 15^th.

Performance dates are July 13^th, 14^th, 15^th, 20^th, 21^st, & 22^nd.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Chris Gallaugher at 614-833-6990.
