Willy Wonka Jr. presented by Stony Brook – Blanchard Productions

June 12th, 2008

Willy Wonka Jr was presented by the Blanchard-Stony Brook Productions in March 2008. The play is based on Roald Dahl’s Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, this adaptation is a timeless story of the world-famous Willy Wonka and his quest to find an heir for his candy factory.

More than 100 people including Stony Brook student cast and crew members, Westford Academy student volunteers, and parent volunteers have worked hard for several months to pull off what turned out to be a wonderful and well-produced evening at the Stony Brook auditorium.

Long-time Blanchard-Stony Brook Productions director Carol Fisher returned to direct Willy Wonka, after a brief hiatus. Rachel Burns was the show’s choreographer, after a successful run as director/choreographer of Grease last fall at Blanchard Middle School. Dan Rodriguez was the music director for the production. Producers include Laurie DeTolla, Rob Gilgen, Susan Kimball, Katherine Pouliopoulos, Marie Doctor, and Louise Marinilli.
