Willy Wonka Participation Policies and Procedures:

A participation fee of $15.00 for residents and $25.00 for non-residents and a $75.00 volunteer deposit will be required in order to audition. The volunteer deposit is required to ensure that we get adequate volunteer support from parents and family to run this production in a safe and positive way. It will be fully refunded as parents fulfill this obligation. Participants will not be allowed to audition until all fees have been paid. For families with more than 3 children participation the fee will cap at $45 and $75 respectively and only one deposit will be required per family.

The production staff may limit the cast size as they deem necessary to allow for a quality experience for each child. Should cast size be limited and your child not be included you will be issued a refund.

The audition panel will consist of three people including the director, production staff as designated, and a representative from the city (typically the Art Coordinator). Audition panel members who have family members wishing to audition will be temporarily dismissed from the panel at the time of said family member's audition and will have no input as to his/her child's placement in the play.

This first rehearsal will be held Saturday, Jan. 23rd from 8am - 11am. A MANDATORY Parent Meeting will be held Tuesday, Jan. 26th from 6:00pm - 7:00pm.

Rehearsals will be held Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 4:00pm - 6:00pm and Saturdays from 9am - 11:00am. Performance dates are Wednesday March 17th - Saturday, March 20th.
