Join us as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory sails on Royal Caribbean's Legend of the Seas, bringing magic and fun to the high seas!

What did our critic think of ROALD DAHL'S CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY at Texarkana Repertory Company?

Based on Roald Dahl's beloved classic, this spectacular stage production invites audiences on a wondrous journey with the eccentric Willy Wonka and five golden ticket winners.

It’s not often that villains are the stars of children’s shows, but Freckle Productions’ adaptation of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s The Baddies gleefully flips the script. At Cadogan Hall, this wickedly silly romp delivers a charming, high-energy musical, which keeps its youngest audience members giggling, while slipping in theatrical polish to keep the grown-ups engaged.

“The Book Club Play” will be the first production of Terrific New Theatre's 2025/2026 season in its new theatrical space. It will open August 14, as the premiere offering in what is being referred to as “2025/2026: The Full Return of TNT.” The title references TNT's mini-season of 2024/2025, which consisted of four productions. This new, full season will include six presentations: four plays, one musical, and one play with music.

Stand Up For…. Theatre's anti-bullying, pro-inclusion mission results in casts more diverse than usually seen in community performances. CATCF's cast includes first-time performers, parent-offspring pairs, body and gender positivity, and neurodivergence. Inclusiveness is sufficient reason to support SUFT's production, and also, the show’s quite a lot of fun.

Sounds fascinating in principle. The actors and designers did an impressive job with what they were given - unfortunately, the writing was even more longwinded than its title.
