In Focus Dance Center
Who's Who

Aaron Boesch
as Willy Wonka/Candy Man
Aaron has been working with Jeffrey and In Focus for nearly 6 years, and is excited to make his theatrical debut with Jeffrey in the director’s seat. He has been expanding his performance arts in the last year, now teaching dance and playing the drums. He is looking forward to his debut role as Willy Wonka. When he’s not dancing or drumming, a rare occurrence, he loves to listen to books and shoot archery. Even though he’s an M&M lover, he has decided to sacrifice and endorse Wonka Bars with this role. Aaron after his last rehearsal: “I am the best and Jeffrey is so thankful for me. Wait a minute. Strike that. Reverse it.”

Rocky Wright
as Charlie Bucket
Rocky Wright is thrilled to be in this musical. Rocky is nervous but also excited to make his stage debut in Wonka Jr. He is nine years old and in the third grade. He hopes to be an engineer for NASA when he’s older. His favorite candy is a chocolate bar, which kind of makes sense for this show. Rocky is very thankful for his friends and family for helping him, and especially for Mr. Jeffrey for directing the play, I mean musical!

Riglee Bryson
as Grandpa Joe
Riglee Bryson has loved being a part of the In Focus family for their first production! Her first musical on a big stage was Chitty Chitty Bang Bang when she was just 6 years old. Now 7 years later, she has performed on some of the most iconic stages in the U.S. while touring with Annie, where she played the role of Pepper. She has also performed in multiple community and education based theatre productions, as well as professionally at Arena Stage and Ford's Theatre. Her favorite theatre memories are made backstage with her friends and fellow actors. She has danced since the age of 3 and truly enjoys working with her littlest friends. Riglee hopes you enjoy this production!
