Based on the famous novel by Roald Dahl, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory features an original score composed by Marc Shaiman with lyrics by Shaiman and Scott Wittman (Hairspray) and a book by David Greig. The score also pays homage to the Leslie Bricusse/Anthony Newley score from the 1971 film with songs from the motion picture including "The Candy Man," "I've Got a Golden Ticket," "Oompa Loompa Song," and "Pure Imagination."

The world-famous Willy Wonka is opening the gates to his mysterious factory…but only to a lucky few. Young Charlie Bucket and four other golden ticket winners will embark on a life-changing journey through Wonka’s world of pure imagination including chocolate waterfalls, nutty squirrels and the great glass elevator, all to be revealed by Wonka's army of curious Oompa-Loompas.

The Andrean Theatre Company is a delightful group of Andrean students coming together to entertain the masses.  Not only do these kids love to entertain, they love ALL things theatre.  There is something for everyone who finds joy in the makings of a live performance- we have actors, actresses, stage crew, build team, lighting and sound crew, make-up and hair team, choreographers, singers, and more!  Our Company performs two shows a year-the straight play as well as the musical.  We aim to show off our talent and skill set at the Indiana State Conference in January 2026 in Avon, Indiana.  Once you are a part of Andrean Theatre Company-it never leaves you.  Thank you for your continued support and we hope you enjoy our shows!
