State Theater Features Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory

BARNESVILLE – As one of the business participants in the Main Street Barnesville Inaugural Chocolate Walk on Friday, Nov. 13, from 5:30-7:30 p.m., the Barnesville State Theater Company will screen the original 1971 classic, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.     

The American musical fantasy film was directed by Mel Stuart and starred Gene Wilder as the eccentric candymaker Willy Wonka.

Poor, kind-hearted Charlie Bucket finds one of five coveted Golden Tickets hidden inside Wonka chocolate bar wrappers, winning a tour of Wonka’s secretive and magical factory alongside four other self-absorbed children.

The tour serves as a moral test. As the other children fall victim to their own vices, Charlie perseveres and inherits the entire factory.
