A delightful Broadway musical adaptation of Roald Dahl’s beloved children’s book, “Charlie and The Chocolate Factory” brings to life the whimsical and magical world of Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. Join Charlie Bucket, a young boy from a poor family, who wins a golden ticket to tour Willy Wonka’s mysterious and enchanting chocolate factory. Alongside four other lucky children and their guardians, Charlie embarks on a fantastical journey through the factory’s extraordinary rooms and encounters its eccentric owner, Willy Wonka himself. The Broadway adaptation features vibrant sets and costumes that capture the imaginative essence of Dahl’s original tale. From the chocolate waterfall to the nut-sorting room, each scene is filled with wonder and excitement. The musical’s catchy songs, including favorites like “Pure Imagination” and “The Candy Man,” add to the magic of the experience. At its heart, “Charlie and The Chocolate Factory” celebrates the power of imagination, the importance of family, and the joy of indulging in life’s sweetest pleasures. With its blend of humor, fantasy, and heartwarming moments, the musical enchants audiences of all ages, making it a truly scrumptious theatrical experience.

REGISTRATION/AUDITION PREP SESSIONS

Registration is held at our Rehearsal Venue 25142 Waghorn Rd NW, Poulsbo (the former Breidablik Elementary School). During this time you will be taught and coached on the songs, lines and the dance to be performed for your audition. There are multiple registration sessions (see list below) to choose from and you can sign up for the one that works for your family when you enroll online. All enrollment is handled online via “STUDIO DIRECTOR” and should be completed before arriving. You will also be asked to fill out a Conflict Calendar which must be submitted at your Registration Session. Here is the link: CCF 2024 Conflict Calendar 0614 A parent or guardian must be present during Registration when the $50 Registration fee will be collected, the tuition payment plan selected, and your volunteer deposit is made. Each session takes approximately an hour and a half, and at the conclusion, you will receive your audition appointment which includes the date and time of your audition. You will not be able to receive an audition time unless we have your completed Conflict Calendar.

Required Volunteer Hours

KCMT relies entirely on volunteers to produce a show. While at the performance venue, 35+ volunteers are needed to stage each show. Carefully consider how your family’s schedule can be adjusted so that you can be involved in the support of your actor(s). We need you! Each family is required to volunteer a total of 50 hours (per family no matter how many actors) which must include volunteering for at least four shows. In addition, families are required to submit a $500 volunteer deposit on Registration and Audition Prep Night, which will not be processed if the volunteer requirement is met.

Teens Earning Hours

Cast members may not earn volunteer hours. Their time and energy are being directed towards excelling in their vital contribution to the production. However, grandparents, aunts and uncles, siblings (not in the cast) and even non-family members may volunteer (all must complete a Background Check, of course). While volunteering, families earn free tickets for the show! Three tickets are available after completing the initial 30 volunteer hours, and families may earn one additional ticket for every 10 hours worked for a total of TEN free tickets per production (100 hours = 10 tickets). If you take advantage of this opportunity, you will need to continue to track your hours and turn in additional volunteer logs until you reach a minimum of 50 hours to meet the volunteer time commitment. To document volunteer hours, submit completed volunteer logs to volunteerlogs.kcmt@gmail.com or leave them at the Attendance Desk at the rehearsal location. If you choose to turn in a paper copy, please take a photo of your log so you have it for your records. Volunteer logs may also be turned in at the auditorium to the Volunteer Management Team – please allow sufficient time for your logs to be reviewed and your earned tickets issued (one hour prior to show time is recommended). After the closing show of the production, if you have accumulated at least 50 hours of volunteer time and served at four shows, your volunteer deposit will not be processed; the check or credit card form will be shredded. If you do not satisfy the commitment, your volunteer deposit of $500 will be processed during the week following the cast party. This applies to everyone, including Directors, Designers and Staff. If you are interested in a volunteer staff position, please let our Volunteer Managers volunteer.kcmt@gmail.com know and they will see if a position might be available. Typically, during a production, Staff Coordinators/Assistants work 80+ hours and Directors/Managers work 100+ hours

CHARITABLE AID

For those who are experiencing financial difficulties, single-parent families, a parent in the military, a parent out of work, or a participating foster child KCMT may be able to help offset PART of the tuition cost. To apply, please follow this online registration link and pay the $50 registration fee. Then download the KCMT Scholarship Request 2004 and follow the instructions for submitting your request as indicated.

Schedule Specifics

Updates are sent via email at the beginning of each week. You can also check the online Rehearsal Calendar (under the “Rehearsal Calendar” tab). Each actor can expect to spend approximately 3 to 10 hours in rehearsal each week. They will learn dancing and vocals for chorus numbers, as well as scene blocking and character development. Rehearsals are Tuesdays and Thursdays, 4:00 – 7:00 PM, and a three-hour block on Saturdays, either 10 AM – 1 PM or 3 – 6 PM, depending on your cast assignment. Specialty dancers and leads may have additional Friday and Saturday rehearsals. Actors are expected to attend all scheduled rehearsals. Please pick your child up on time after rehearsal. Actors should only be at KCMT (rehearsals and performances) only when they are scheduled. We are not equipped to watch children who are not actively involved in rehearsals/performances.

CONFLICT CALENDAR

The Conflict Calendar plays an important role in casting a show. “Conflicts” that arise AFTER a show is cast are the same as “missing a rehearsal.” All KNOWN conflicts must be declared at registration. Absences arising after the Conflict Calendar is submitted must go through the Attendance Supervisor and could jeopardize your casting in the production. You can download a copy of the CCF 2024 Conflict Calendar 0614 It will also be emailed to you when you complete your registration. Please note:

PRODUCTION WEEKS

Production Weeks are the last two weeks on our rehearsal schedule. Leads are required not to participate in any overnight activities during production weeks. We require that you clear your child’s schedule of all outside activities during production weeks. Extra activities during production weeks sap the energy from their performances. Any time an actor or actress needs to miss a performance due to unforeseen circumstances, permission and arrangements for their replacement MUST be coordinated through a Director.
