March 13, 2026- In advance of the premiere of their spring showing of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory next week (March 19, 20, and 21), High School East's Eastside Theatre Company brought the show on tour ... to district elementary schools. Students at Hooper Avenue, East Dover, and Cedar Grove elementary schools were in for a treat this week, as the talented high schoolers performed snippets of the show, and then made their way through the adoring young crowds for hugs and high fives. The troupe sees it as a fun and engaging way to enhance and sustain their school's performing arts program, while having an impact on potential future actors and actresses.
