Y ARTS Presents: “Willy Wonka JR.” - Fifty-two youth performers take the stage with the Y Arts Spring Musical.  Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka JR. follows enigmatic candy manufacturer Willy Wonka (Scout Martin) as he stages a contest by hiding golden tickets in five of his scrumptious candy bars. Whomever comes up with these tickets will win a free tour of the Wonka factory, as well as a lifetime supply of candy. Four of the five winning children are insufferable brats, but the fifth is a likeable young lad named Charlie Bucket (Sloan Nelson), who takes the tour in the company of his equally amiable grandmother (Imij Armstead). The children must learn to follow Mr. Wonka’s rules in the factory — or suffer the consequences. Two performances at 5 p.m.: Thursday, May 23 and Friday, May 24. General admission tickets: $10.

“La Chimera” - (NR; 2 hours, 13 minutes - in Italian with English subtitles) -  Just out of jail and still searching for his late beloved Beniamina, crumpled English archaeologist Arthur reconnects with his wayward crew of tombaroli accomplices – a happy-go-lucky collective of itinerant grave-robbers who survive by looting Etruscan tombs and fencing the ancient treasures they dig up. Arthur isn’t interested in the artifacts, though; he’s seeking a legendary door to the underworld, and to Beniamina. To find her, Arthur challenges the invisible, searches everywhere, goes inside the earth — in search of the door to the afterlife of which myths speak. In an adventurous journey between the living and the dead, between forests and cities, between celebrations and solitudes, the intertwined destinies of these characters unfold, all in search of the Chimera. Playing Friday, May 24 at 1 p.m. (early start) and 7 p.m.;  Saturday, May 25 at 2 and 7 p.m. and Wednesday, May 29 at 2 and 7 p.m.
