Nobody is as

secretive as Willy Wonka, the most famous candy maker in the world. That

is why the world goes absolutely bonkers when a contest is announced and

all golden ticket holders get a tour of Wonka's factory led by Wonka himself.

Fayette Coweta Family Theatre presents this beloved tale at Spring Hill

Elementary School this weekend.

The tale focuses

on one of the winners, Charlie Bucket, and his Grandpa Joe. They are among

the five winners who will get a tour of the Wonka facility. Throughout

the tour character flaws of the other winners are revealed and audience

members learn valuable lessons about greed, selfishness and avoiding other

bad habits.

The role of

Wonka will be played by veteran Fayette Coweta Family Theatre performer

Damien Haas. Haas has appeared as Frick in "Hansel and Gretel,"

King Awgwa in "The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus" and Winnie-the-

Pooh in "A Winnie-the-Pooh Christmas Tail." Haas was also the

2001 FCFT Director's Award winner.

Charlie will

be played by Andrew Vogeley who was named the Outstanding Juvenile Performer

for 2000-2001 by FCFT. Other members of the cast include Ryan Turk as

Grandpa Joe, Evan Barron as Augustus Goop, Chene' Smith as Veruca Salt,

Caitilin Wade as Violet Beauregarde and Dillon Roseen as Mike Teavee.

There are over 24 talented youngsters in the show.

Performances

of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" are Thursday and Friday,

Aug. 1 and 2 at 4:30 and 7 p.m. and Saturday, Aug. 3 at 11 a.m., 3 p.m.
