The theatre production of Willy Wonka last week had audience members laughing throughout as elementary and junior high actors joined the high school cast and crew to put on a memorable performance.

“Words can’t describe how amazing it felt to play Willy Wonka,” senior Jernon Hawley. “It was a great experience.”

Laughter and applause filled the auditorium, which was nearly a full house despite the cold weather. Saturday was a repeat, with another nearly-full house and many repeat audience members despite the wet weather.
