Charlie Waite
as Charlie Bucket
Charlie is making his Rich Theatre debut in Willy Wonka Jr as Charlie Bucket. This is his first major role, but he performed in his school’s one act play and has always had a love of acting and singing. Big thanks to Ms. Anderson, PA Middle school chorus teacher, and of course Mum and Dad, for all their support.

Zimri Blount
as Grandpa Joe
Zimri is excited to be cast as Grandpa Joe, for Willy Wonka Jr. stage play. This character is very fitting, as Zimri prides himself on making people laugh. By way of hip-hop and ballroom dancing, Zimri is no stranger to performing. Zimri would like to give thanks to his family and friends for their love and continuous support. Last bit not least, a huge shout out to Rich Theatre for putting this together and being such an awesome team to work with, throughout this experience.
