i am the drama director at my middle school. we are performing wwjr in feb. my set design consists of a large platform, 6' high x 20' wide x 6' deep. kids can climb onto it via stairs from sl and sr, as well as a 90 degree staircase on stage. they can walk underneath it (the pit is hiding underneath as well). we have a lot of wagons, such as a 4x8 bed for act one, a large tv, and chocolate vat. i will load pics when i get them.

I am helping with the production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in early spring.  I would greatly appreciate anything you could send me: pictures, graphics, ideas, etc. 

Hi,

We are currently working on sets for Willy Wonka Jr.

Would love to have any photos of sets or other items you think would be helpful sent to me.

 

Thanks!!!!!

Just as an FYI...our school just finished the MTI version of Willy Wonka Jr.  It was so cute and fun!  Your audience will love it.  If you are interested, here is something that we did to give extra "umph and theatrics" to the show.  The theater (auditorium) that we performed this at had two very large projector screens behind the stage. Because Willy Wonka is so colorful, we decided to incorporate video images (like swirly psychedelics when the oopma loompas came out, etc.)  That, mixed with the lighting made for an amazing production.  I created over 30 video effects...such as a glowing ticket each time one of the five kids discovered it in their candy bar.

A lot of times people think that projection screens (like lmckenzie01 talked about for Willy Wonka) need to be rectangles hung in a plane.  If you order one made from Chameleon scrim, you can have a projection screen that is a circle, or a screen that is hung as a cylinder--essentially a huge pillar with lights and projection inside.  We recently had one for an event that was two large 40 foot pillars, that ribbon dancers came down from the top inside with light and projections around them. And it is all more inexpensive than people think.  We even rent scrims that can be used as huge projection surfaces.
