Curtain Closing Soon on 'Willy Wonka'

This is the second and final weekend of performances.

It's not too late to get your (golden) ticket for Roald Dahl’s “Willy Wonka” musical.

The New Tampa Players community theater group is holding the last of its performances today (Friday, Aug. 17) through Sunday (Aug. 19). 

If you're not in the know, "Willy Wonka" is a stage adaptation of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." It follows the story of a colorful candy maker and Charlie Bucket, a poor youth who secures a golden ticket in a Wonka bar.
