WILLY WONKA Opens at the Grove Theatre 7/9

There's a search for a Golden Ticket and you can be part of it. Willy Wonka opens At The Grove Theatre on July 9th, and is a delicious musical treat for the entire family. In this fun-filled, musical based on Roald Dahl's children's novel, "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory", a sweet-natured boy named Charlie Bucket and four other Golden Ticket winners get the tour of a lifetime in a mysterious candy-maker's fantastic factory! Willy Wonka, played by Vil Towers, and his band of Oompa Loompas lead Charlie, the spoiled-rotten Veruca Salt, gluttonous Augustus Gloop, gum-chewing Violet Beauregarde, and television junkie Mike Teavee through a maze of lemon drops, life lessons, and giggles. Featuring some of your favorite actors, along with great new ones, surprises, and many songs you'll recognize such as "The Candy Man," "I Want It Now!", and "Pure Imagination".

Performances are on Saturdays and Sundays at 2:00 PM through July 31st. Tickets to see Willy Wonka are $15 for adults and $12 for students and children.
