Charlie is an "Oompa-Loompa"

Act! For Youth, which is the theatre arts section of the The Arts Council of Wilson, will be performing the play "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." Charlie and Levi auditioned for the play this week. Levi thought that the audition alone was the final act. He thought it was great just to be in there with all of the kids and singing his little "Speed Racer" song. So when his name wasn't on the cast roster we told him what a great job he did, and we just left it at that. We were so proud of him though!

Charlie, however, did land a part in the play. He will be joining the 9 other boys and girls doning their green wigs and orange faces. Yes, our son will be an OOMPA-LOOMPA! GO ahead.....take a minute....sing the song.....you know you want to...lol
If you need a little help remembering the words, I have posted a video below to help you out. Enjoy! Oh yeah, you will have two chances to come out and see the play, as they will be performing for two weekends. The dates are Feb 25th through Feb. 28th and March 5th through March 7th. Also, make sure you pause the song that is playing on our playlist before you watch the video below.
