Your golden ticket to

imagination and adventure!

Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka 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: 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.

Play Day is an all-day theater workshop scheduled on days that Columbia Public Schools are closed. 

 

We pick popular themes from books, movies, and television shows and create content in art, acting, and music for the day! Kids can wear their public appropriate PJs and PLAY the day away with us!
