Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka at Emma Kelly Theater Feb 23 – 26

Averitt Center for the Arts presents Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka at Emma Kelly Theater February 23 – 25 at 7:00 pm and February 26 at 3:00 pm. The performance is sponsored by Georgia Technologies.

Tickets are $25 for general admission, $20 for members/military/first responders/city & county employees, and $15 for students. Purchase tickets HERE.

Based on the book “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” by Roald Dahl, the performance follows enigmatic candy manufacturer, Willy Wonka, as he stages a contest by hiding golden tickets in five of his scrumptious candy bars. 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: 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.
