"Willy Wonka Jr." performances take place Sept. 8-10

Northwest ISD’s middle school musical, “Willy Wonka Jr.,” will take place September 8 to 10, with four performances spanning the three days inside Byron Nelson High School’s performing arts center.

“Willy Wonka, Jr.” is a fun and exciting family-friendly musical, telling the classic story of Charlie Bucket and his quest for the Golden Ticket. The story also portrays the interesting people he meets throughout his adventures, including none other than Willy Wonka himself. The musical is a theatrical experience featuring over 45 students from the district’s six middle schools. The first performance of “Willy Wonka, Jr.” will take place at 7 p.m. on Thursday, September 8, followed by a 7 p.m. performance on Friday, September 9. On Saturday, September 10, two performances will take place – the first at 2 p.m., followed by a final performance at 7 p.m.
