RCT Summer Education Camps 2024 - Willy Wonka Kids

Two-Week Summer Camp!

Ages 6–12

Renton Civic Theatre is excited to announce our Summer Education Programs, featuring two incredible opportunities for kids and tweens to shine on stage!

In each session, your child will learn the basics of acting & singing by participating in a real theatre production in our historic theatre space! Our professional teaching artists will guide students through the whole process of putting on a show, including how to audition, memorize lines, learn choreography, and more! The experience culminates with an exciting live performance at the end of two weeks, where friends and family can come watch!

Session 1 is Willy Wonka Kids!

Synopsis: Based on the classic book by Roald Dahl, Willy Wonka Kids tells the story of the famous candy inventor, Willy Wonka, and the chaos that ensues when he decides to open his factory gates to five lucky kids and their parents for a tour. The story follows a child named Charlie Bucket and their journey from poverty to winning the ultimate prize, and it is much greater than a lifetime supply of chocolate. Willy Wonka Kids touches on the troubles that are brought about when kids are left to be spoiled and bossy, and also shows how you can make beautiful things with a touch of “pure imagination."

All roles are open to individuals of any gender.
