Magic happens on Orcas tonight — old-time Orcas magic with longtime talent nurturer Dider Gincg bringing out the best in the cast of “Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” from the youngest oompah-loompahs to the posse of grandparents that inhabit this modern-day fairy tale.
For most it’s their first time on stage, and one can only imagine that with the guidance of Orcas singers and dancers like Gordon Koenig and Tiffany Loney, and the encouragement of Gincig and star Christopher Evans, these kids will treasure this memory and come back to the stage again and again.
The show starts at 6:30 — tickets are selling fast! Get there early to get a good seat and be enveloped in charm and talent.
