Charlie and the Chocolate Theatre Tour

Hi, it's Lesley again. 

I just wanted to update everyone on the great event we had.  It was a ton of fun for all the staff and volunteers and we hope all who came as well.  In conjunction with our upcoming production of Willy Wonka, the Development and Marketing staff wanted to put together an event that would sugar up your spirits!  After our first meeting in June, we knew that we definintely needed some help so we asked for help from the education department and the production team to help us turn the building into a chocolate factory and have great things for everyone to enjoy! 

Mission accomplished!  Everyone who came was greeted by our very own Mr. Willy Wonka and each had to take an oath and sign the famous contract!  All 3 floors of the theatre were covered with great things for kids to do and the whole first floor was almost covered in chocolate!  We had great crafts like mixing sprite and mentos to make fizzy lifting drinks in the invention room! We also took purple balloons and gave them heads, feet and hands for the Violet's Volume craft.  At the Candy Land Craft we had grahm crackers, icing and candy so that kids could create their own game boards. The education department created a building wide scavenger hunt and there was a really cool obstacle course for kids.  In the learning stage we had a trivia game where everyone got to compete against Mike Teavee and the first floor had tons of candy everywhere!  It was more than any kid could imagine just there for the taking plus a Chocolate Fountain to dip marshmellows and grahm cracker in!  Who could ask for more! 

It was a lot of fun for me to go around and take pictures of so I thought I would share a couple with you. 

Hope you can make it to our next event! 

Lesley
