Hats off
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is the latest gem in a long line of family-pleasing productions from the Black Box Players and its founder/director MaryAnne Thornton. An active realtor, a children’s book author, and sponsor of the annual C’ville Jr. Idol competition, Thornton has provided community access to the stage since 1986. She has led her productions with hands-on everything, from scripts to costumes to sets, and worn many, many hats along the way. Thornton gives her gift, and keeps on giving.
Through 12/9 $9, times vary. Burnley Moran School Auditorium, 1300 Long St. 970-7600.
