ANNA — On March 8, 9, and 10, the Anna High School Drama Club will present Anna’s 56th musical production, “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.”

Based on the 1971 movie, a sweet girl from a poor family dreams of finding one of five golden tickets hidden inside chocolate bar wrappers which will admit her to the eccentric and reclusive Willy Wonka’s magical factory. One after another, tickets are discovered by ghastly children. But, will the girl find the last remaining ticket and have all her dreams come true?

With songs like Pure Imagination, Golden Ticket, Think Positive and Cheer Up Charlie, you will be humming the tunes for weeks.

Performances are on Friday, March 8, and Saturday, March 9 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, March 10 at 2 p.m. All tickets are $10. Visit https://search.seatyourself.biz/webstore/accounts/anna/buy-tix or visit the Anna High School office to purchase tickets.
