Northport and East Northport Happenings

The Firefly Artists are teaming up with the Community Playhouse of Northport for a juried exhibition in celebration of the theater’s production of Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka. Artists from throughout Long Island were invited to submit artwork for “Pure Imagination,” which celebrates desserts, sweets and everything satisfyingly delicious. The exhibition runs through May 12 with a special reception/performance with the cast of Willy Wonka on Saturday, April 13 from 3-5pm.

Roald Dahl’s timeless story of the world-famous candy man and his quest to find an heir comes to life in this stage adaptation of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. See showtimes and buy tickets here.
