Published 4:47 pm Wednesday, June 26, 2013

Director Jenna Tamisiea puts Augustus Gloop (John Henry Tennant) through his paces in an early rehearsal for “Willy Wonka,” this year’s Tryon Little Theater/ Tryon Youth Center Summer Youth Production. “I eat more!” Augustus roars as the audience becomes acquainted with his voracious eating habits. “Willy Wonka” is based on Roald Dahl’s book, “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” and although many have seen several different versions of the movie based on the book, this production is going to be “different from anything you’ve ever seen,” according to the director. The show runs July 18 – 21 at the Tryon Fine Arts Center. (photo Monica Jones)
