Fountain Hills Community Theater Youth Theater is proud to announce the opening of the third show of the 2008-2009 Season, Willy Wonka Junior. This show is partially underwritten through a generous donation from Wells Fargo Bank in support of their programs for youth.
Willy Wonka Junior, Roald Dahl’s timeless story of the world-famous candy man and his quest to find an heir, comes to life in this stage adaptation of “Charlie and The Chocolate Factory,” which features songs from the classic family film “Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory.”
All of your favorite characters and songs (including “The Candy Man” and “Pure Imagination”) are featured in this show that overflows with music, comedy and heart.
Willy Wonka Junior is produced by Anne Kelleher and Bill Beamish, directed by Miciah Dodge, and choreographed by Denise Kelleher.

Scottsdale cast members include: Tay Coben, Lindsey Garland, Layne Gross, Mackenzie Johnson and Elizabeth Schauer. Jordyn Moreland and Molly Stellino hail from Phoenix, Nick Maddox is coming to us from East Mesa and Jessica Miller makes the trek from Gilbert. Technical aspects of the show are also supported by local youth who work both backstage with stage manager Linda Ferington, and in the light and sound booth.
