Fremont Community Theatre presents a fantastical journey filled with music, magic and mouth-watering mayhem in “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” sponsored by Genoa Bank.
This entertaining production opens May 9 and will run for two weekends: May 9 to 11 and May 16 to 18.
Performances are 7:30 p.m. May 9, 10, 16 and 17, and 2 p.m. May 11 and 18 at 1551 Dickinson St. Tickets are available at www.our.show/fct/charlieandthechocolatefactory.
Directed by Briann Edwards and assisted by Jim Posey, “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” marks the grand finale of Fremont Community Theatre’s 2024-25 mainstage season.
Based on Roald Dahl’s iconic story, this musical features unforgettable songs, larger-than-life characters and the whimsical world of Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory.
The musical is brought to life by a talented local cast. Audiences will meet the kind-hearted Charlie Bucket, the mysterious chocolatier Willy Wonka and a lineup of quirky golden ticket winners including the gum-chewing Violet Beauregarde, the spoiled Veruca Salt, tech-obsessed Mike Teavee, and the ever-hungry Augustus Gloop.
