Join the CTAC School of Ballet for their original, full length ballet of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory based on the 1971 film. Charlie is one of five international winners in a contest created by the great chocolate maker, Willy Wonka. With the promise of a lifetime supply of chocolate, each contestant is put to the test by Wonka himself. As the story unfolds, we see how the five winners navigate the challenges before them and suffer the dire consequences of not respecting Wonka’s instructions. Since Charlie demonstrates the honesty, humility, and kindness that aligns with Willy Wonka’s values, he inherits much, much more than a lifetime supply of chocolate!
“The secret is, it’s not the chocolate that matters. It’s the people you share it with.”
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is sponsored in part by Luci & Carl's Candy Cabin with Grandpa Shorter's Gifts!
