Wonka's chocolate factory a sweet diversion at Winman

Posted

Winman eighth grader Maya Madison makes for a composed and in-command Willy Wonka. It’s no wonder that she is comfortable on stage. She started dancing at the age of 2 and by 4 was on stage.

Since then she’s been captivated by performing having appeared in multiple productions and spending summers in drama camps. She has been cast in Willy Wonka, but this is her debut as the lead character. She said she likes the roll as it offers the opportunity for comedy as well as the “dark side” to the story.

Maya will be getting lots of support from her fellow Winman students when the curtain lifts tonight at 7 at the school. The Winman Drama Club will also give a performance this Friday at 7 p.m. Tickets are $7. Children under 2 are free.
