I’ll back track just a bit into March so that I can properly highlight the kids’ experiences with Willy Wonka at the Charles Finney school this spring.

Nigel played Mr. Salt, the father of Veruca Salt, the girl who always got what she wanted.

It just so happened that the young lady who played Veruca is the niece of my friend and co-worker, Myrna.  Small world. 

Marie and Tabitha had roles as dancing cooks and squirrels. 

They were supposed to have these silly, snooty, “French” looks on their faces. 

They were so funny.

Stewart did not have an on-stage role this year.  He was hired to help with audio.  He did an outstanding job.

And he didn’t have to wear make-up.
