Pure Imagination: Meet Oompa Loompas member Zette Pflaum from CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY


When eccentric candy creator Willy Wonka opens his factory to five lucky children, the result is an unbelievable journey of sight, sound and surprise. A dazzling new musical adaptation of the Roald Dahl novel, CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY finishes its HCT run this weekend, December 12th—14th.


Returning to the Pamela Livingstone Stage, as one of the story's iconic Oompa Loompas, is Zette Pflaum.


Born in York, Pennsylvania, Pflaum—who holds a Bachelor's Degree in Material Science from Cornell University—now resides in Statesville, and enjoys art, writing, and skiing.


Pflaum made her Hickory Community Theatre Debut as an Ensemble member in ANASTASIA. She has gone on to appear in FOOTLOOSE for Theatre Statesville, and THE BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE IN TEXAS for Lee Street Theatre. She is excited by all of the fun, fast-paced choreography in this production, and is grateful for the continuing spirit of community she finds at HCT.


Performances of CHARLIE & THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY are Thursday, Friday and Saturday, December 12th-14th at 7:30PM. Tickets are $18 for adults, $12 for youth and students.


Tickets are available online at hickorytheatre.org, or by phone at 828-328-2283. The theatre box office is open from 12-5 PM Wednesday through Friday, or one half-hour before a performance.


CHARLIE & THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY is rated PG. Some material may not be suitable for children. Parental guidance is suggested.


CHARLIE & THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY is produced in association with Catawba Valley Health System. The Hickory Community Theatre’s 76th season is sponsored by A Cleaner World, Bella Age, Covington Dental, LifeRootz, Protection Products, Inc., and Shurtape Technologies. HCT is a Funded Affiliate of Arts Culture Catawba and receives additional support from the North Carolina Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.
