Charlie Bucket and his family live in poverty. But their fortunes change for the fantastical when a coveted Golden Ticket gets Charlie inside the factory of candy inventor Willy Wonka. A new musical adaptation of Roald Dahl’s masterpiece, CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY is a sweet and salty fable of about doing what's right with life's chances. It finishes its HCT run this weekend, December 12th—14th.
Making his Hickory Community Theatre debut in this production, as one of the story's unforgettable Oompa Loompas, is Scott Major.
A resident of Maiden and employee of Charles Schwab, Scott holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from Appalachian State University. A Board Member for the Lincoln Theatre Guild, Scott also appeared in their recent production of THE SOUND OF MUSIC. Other area credits include ELF: THE MUSICAL, LEGALLY BLONDE, and DRACULA: A COMEDY OF TERRORS, all at The Green Room Community Theatre.
Having recently worked with CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY director, Ethan Fite, at The Green Room Community Theatre, Scott is delighted to be part of such a "fun and lighthearted musical." He also appreciates the variety of shows offered by HCT, particularly those that push the creative envelope.
