A group of 31 performers from grades two through eight lit up the Tabor Arts stage performing Ronald Dahl's Willy Wonka Jr. in Branford November 2 - 4. Over 500 people came to see Oompa Loompas, golden ticket winners and of course, Willy Wonka, bring this magical story of chocolate rivers and Everlasting Gobstoppers to life.

Tabor Arts is rapidly growing, and under the direction of Colin Sheehan and Jamie Petrone, has successfully doubled the number of enrolled children within their theatrical production program for children.  Excitement is already building for the spring production of Suessical Jr. and this summer's "Mastering the Audition" camp that culminates with a trip to NYC to see and meet the cast of Wicked. All shoreline children are welcome to join and no experience is required.

Next up at Tabor, an opportunity for the whole family to get into the spirit of the season with Tabor's Holiday Cheer community caroling and concert program. No experience necessary and all ages are welcome to share their voices this holiday season within the shoreline community. Dates and details can be found on taborartsbranford.com. Registration ends Saturday November 17.
