Next week the BFA Fairfax Dramatic Arts Ensemble brings the wacky world of Willy Wonka to the stage. Ronald Dahl’s classic story is brought to life by a cast of 40+ BFA students from grades 5-12. The wildly hilarious and outrageous stage performance brings to life all of your favorite characters including the flamboyant and mysterious candy maker Willy Wonka himself, played by stage veteran Troy Millette, the innocent Charlie Bucket, played by fifth grader Evan Marnell, and Grandpa Joe, played by Senior Christopher Hogan. You will also meet the wild characters of Augustus Gloop, Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregarde, Mike Teavee, and a tribe of mischievous Oompa Loompas. The performance has a runtime of approximately an hour and a half and will be shown Thursday, November 11th, at 7 pm, Friday, November 12th, at 7 pm, a special matinee on Saturday November 13th at 2 pm, as well as a 7 pm performance that evening. Tickets can be purchased in advance in the Bellows Free Academy main office. Prices are: adults $8, students $6. Come out and support the dramatic arts at BFA. You won't be disappointed.
