“Willy Wonka, Jr.”

The Ojai Art Center Youth Branch is putting on a theatrical production of “Willy Wonka, Jr.” in early August as part of its fifth consecutive summer program, directed by Gai Jones.

Performances will be held Aug. 4-5 at 7 p.m. and on Aug. 6-7 at 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. at the art center, 113 S. Montgomery St., Ojai.

“In this time, we need a lot of joy, sprinkled with love to be spread around,” Ms. Jones said in a news release. “The students and staff involved have worked cooperatively to create the songs, dances, characters. We appreciate the parent support in this community venture. We hope that we bring you some joy.”
