Jessica Guastella

Assistant Director/ Choro

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory musical follows poor but kind-hearted Charlie Bucket, who wins one of five Golden Tickets to tour the fantastical Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory with four other bratty children: Augustus Gloop, Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregarde, and Mike Teavee. Inside, they encounter magical candy creations and mischievous Oompa-Loompas, but each naughty child succumbs to temptation (gluttony, greed, gum-chewing, TV addiction) and gets removed from the tour, proving Charlie's inherent goodness and humility make him the only worthy heir to Wonka's chocolate empire.

Jessica Guastella is excited to be assisting the production team for Charlie & the Chocolate Factory. This is Jessica’s first time helping out behind the scenes for a show. You most recently saw Jessica on the CECA stage in the 2025 productions of “I Love the Nightlife”, “Annie”, “The Rocky Horror Show: Insane Asylum, and “Chris-tmas”. Thank you to the cast and crew for being amazing. This show is going to blow you away! Thank you to Brian for giving me the opportunity to test these new waters. Thanks to family and friends who support me and the arts by coming to the shows. Thanks to my boo for helping to keep me grounded and not letting me overextend myself too much. Jessica is a proud CECA Board Member. When not at the theater, you can find her at a FIRST LEGO League event as a coach or judge…or on the couch, streaming.
