Lisle Park District's production of Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka Jr.

Be a part of Lisle Park District's 2026 Summer Theatre Production of Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka Jr.!

OPEN TO AGES 7-17

Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka Jr. follows enigmatic candy manufacturer Willy Wonka as he stages a contest by hiding golden tickets in five of his scrumptious candy bars. Whoever comes up with these tickets will win a free tour of the Wonka factory, as well as a lifetime supply of candy. Four of the five winning children are insufferable brats, but the fifth is a likeable young lad named Charlie Bucket, who takes the tour in the company of his equally amiable grandfather. The children must learn to follow Mr. Wonka's rules in the factory – or suffer the consequences.
