LEARN WITH US AT THE FTA!

REGISTRATION NOW OPEN: Willy Wonka KIDS

Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka KIDS follows enigmatic candy manufacturer Willy Wonka as he stages a contest by hiding golden tickets in five of his scrumptious candy bars. Whomever 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 likable 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.

THE FREDERICKSBURG THEATER COMPANY IS A TRUE COMMUNITY THEATER.

Our youth education programs are dedicated to providing theatrical art education programs that promote lifelong learning to a diverse community.

Our youth education program consists of 2 semesters during the school year and a summer camp. The fall semester is open to students in grades 2nd- 6th.

We will dive deeper into character development and advance in theatrical knowledge. Classes are limited to 30 students per school semester.

Each semester ends with a performance on the FTC stage. Scholarships are available upon request. Class sizes are limited so early registration is highly recommended. Students will work with experienced directors and production designers. They will learn music, choreography, character development, and backstage elements.
