THEATER

Anthem community theater to open ‘Willy Wonka JR’ run

Posted

The story follows enigmatic candy manufacturer Willy Wonka as he stages a contest by hiding golden tickets in five of his scrumptious candy bars, a theater press release explains. Whomever comes up with these tickets will win a free tour of the Wonka factory, as well as a lifetime supply of candy.

Four of the five winning children are insufferable brats, but the fifth is a likeable young lad named Charlie Bucket, who takes the tour in the company of his equally amiable grandfather. The children must learn to follow Mr. Wonka's rules in the factory — or suffer the consequences.

Performances are:

  • 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 5 (sold out)
  • 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 6
  • 3, 5 & 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 7
  • Noon, 2 & 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 8
