Charlie Bucket

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.

Parker is so excited to be back on the cutting edge stage for his 4th show and to be playing the role of Charlie Bucket! He was last seen on the CECA stage playing the role of “Flynn Rider” in Tangled, “Crush” in Finding Nemo, JR and “Michael” in Elf the Musical! Some of his other credits include: “Hero Child” on The Polar Express in New Orleans, “Gomez” in The Addams Family at SLT and “Freddie” in Our City of Saints at JPAS. Additional recent highlights lately have been being selected to be the in-game host for an NBA game, being a featured actor in a regional commercial, and being a background character for Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, as well as another movie that hasn’t been released yet! He loves to sing, act, tumble and play basketball and is so thankful to be given another opportunity to be on stage. Thank you to Mr. Brian, Mr. Earl and everyone else involved in putting on this show for all you do! Special shoutout to his mom who also plays his mom in the show!!
