Norwich Community Cinema Foundation Presents: A Community Showing of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory Under the Stars on Chelsea Parade

Sunday, July 25th, 2010
(Norwich, CT) – The Norwich Community Cinema Foundation recently celebrated its first anniversary of screening
movies in downtown Norwich. As a “thank you” to the community for its support, the NCCF has decided to host an
outdoor movie screening of the classic family film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory on the Chelsea Parade,
Saturday, September 4th at 8:00 PM. This event is free to the public.
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is your golden ticket to imagination and adventure! This is the 1971 musical
adaptation of a Roald Dahl story. The film stars Gene Wilder as the eccentric, genius, candy maker, Willy Wonka. It
also stars Jack Albertson as Grandpa Joe and Peter Ostrum as Charlie. The film received an Oscar nomination in 1972
for the music score and Gene Wilder received a Golden Globe nomination for his role in the film. Don’t miss it! It’s
Scrumdiddlyumptious!
Bring blankets and lawn chairs and come early. The event will be held rain or shine. In the event of rain, the film will
be shown across the street, in Slater Auditorium, on the campus of Norwich Free Academy.
This screening is made possible by the generous support of the following local businesses: The Law Offices of Brown
Jacobson, Charter Oak FCU, The Law Offices of Chinigo Leone & Maruzo, Dime Bank, and Norwich Bulletin. Additional contributors include Chelsea Groton Bank and Norwich Public Utilities.
