Charlie Bucket’s family is poor by any financial standard. But what they lack in money and possessions, they more than make up for in love, kindness, and integrity. When Willy Wonka sets out to find an heir to his world-famous chocolate factory, he is faced with candidates who represent gluttony, disobedience, greed, obsession, and character. Grab your golden ticket! Take a magical trip with Charlie through a world of “Pure Imagination” and discover to whom the “Candy Man” will pass on all of his candy-making secrets.

A young man from the inner city is on trial for the premeditated murder of his father and, if found guilty, will be handed a mandatory death sentence. The twelve member jury must reach a unanimous verdict, otherwise the case will be declared a mistrial. Will the reasonable doubt of one lone juror be enough to separate fact from prejudice, anger, ignorance and indifference, and balance the scales of justice?

Travel to Anatevka and allow Tevye, the milkman, to give you a guided tour of the village and its residents.

Faced with the strong wills of his three eldest daughters and the constant threat of the Tsar, Tevye seeks to respond to these challenges in ways that are compatible with his faith. However, he finds himself, in most cases, being led by his heart.
