REMINDER: Hauser Presents Willy Wonka Tonight!

Oompa Loompa, do-ba-dee-doo, I’ve got a perfect story for you … On Tuesday and Wednesday, March 20 and 21, 2012, Hauser Jr. High School will be performing Willy Wonka, the Musical, based on Roald Dahl’s classic Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Both shows are at 7 p.m., in the school’s auditorium, at 65 Woodside Road, Riverside. They are free and open to the public.
Co-directed by Dave Mason and Laura Lynch, Willy Wonka will be a multi-media experience, with original film sequences interspersed with live performances. According to Mr. Mason, “We filmed about a third of it, so the musical will be a hybrid stage/screen event, with three movie screens, a 25-foot boat, giant mushrooms large enough for small children to walk on, and an edible set.”
“The Hauser spring musical is filled with sixth, seventh and eighth grade boys and girls dancing, singing and acting,” said Ms. Lynch. “It’s an amazing collaboration of talented students, community members, parents, and teachers all working hard to produce a unique musical which combines film and live theater.”
