(3/9) The Altoona Area Junior High School Drama Club is proud to present Willy Wonka, Jr. March 10th at 7:00 P.M. and 11th at 1:00 P.M. and 7:00 P.M. Today we meet Mike Teavee and his mother, Ms. Teavee.  Mike is a 9-year-old boy who does nothing but watch television.  His mother, Ms. Teavee seems perfectly happy for Mike to spend all his time watching TV, oblivious to his surroundings.  Mike is bad-tempered and slothful, but also intelligent. How he found his Golden Ticket is never explained as he is too absorbed in his television viewing to talk to the press about it.   In the Coco-Vision Room inside of Wonka’s factory, Mike becomes infatuated with trying out one of Wonka’s camera inventions and suddenly he….well….you know how the rest of it goes – You have to come to the show to find out what happens to Mike!!! Now just one more thing…the Wonka Factory would not be complete without a cast of Oompa Loompas on hand and they definitely do not disappoint!  Our Oompas are amazing and we can’t wait to share them with all of you! All performances will take place in the Altoona Area Junior High School Auditorium. General admission tickets will only be on sale at the door and will cost $8 for adults and $5 for students. Doors open approximately 1/2 hour before each show.   Take a chance on winning a prize by finding a Golden Ticket in a Wonka Bar or send a Candy Gram to your favorite cast or crew member – both for sale at the show for only $1! Come and observe for yourself the technology obsessed Mike, his oblivious mom, the Oompas and of course, the rest of the cast in Willy Wonka, Jr.!!! We hope to see you there!
