Chocolate abounds at Theater Works with the production of Willy Wonka Kids. Willy Wonka shares his riddles, rattles, and sweet fiddle-faddles with 5 kids who win a contest by finding the precious golden tickets in Roald Dahl's classic. This Kids Alive! At Theater Works production is sponsored by Cerreta Candy Company of Glendale and three lucky winners at each performance will receive VIP passes for a tour and chocolate pizza-making workshop.
