Norwood High School presents two one act comedies, Black Comedy and The White Liars by Peter Shaffer. Black Comedy is a light, short, fun farce that focuses on an opportunistic young man facing one of the most important evenings of his life, the night in which he is to meet both the tyrannical father of his fiancée and a millionaire patron of the arts capable of making his career. On the big night, a fuse blows, plunging his apartment into darkness. What follows is a series of slapstick mishaps as people fumble around in the darkness.

The White Liars revolves around an eccentric and disillusioned fortune teller, and the two young men (a rock star and his manager) who consult her. It soon becomes clear that their lives are much stranger than the fiction that the fortune teller tries to create in her magic ball.

Music and lyrics by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley
Adapted for the stage by Leslie Bricusse and Tim McDonald
Based on the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl
Directed by John Quinn

In this oh-so-sweet musical for all ages based on Roald Dahl’s children’s novel, candy-maker Willy Wonka and troupes of Ooompa Loompas give Charlie Bucket and four other Golden Ticket winners the tour of a lifetime in the fantastical chocolate factory. Charlie, Grandpa Joe, spoiled Veruca Salt, gluttonous Augustus Gloop, gum-grinding Violet Beauregarde, Wii/technology junkie Mike Teavee and their simply awful parents wind through a quirky labyrinth of lemon drops and colorful life lessons.



Willy Wonka – Final Rehearsals – Headshots (thank you Dan Busler!)

Sixty plus cast members sing their hearts out in memorable songs including “The Candy Man,” “I Want It Now!“, “Cheer Up, Charlie” and “Pure Imagination.” Musical accompaniment is provided by a professional orchestra directed by Fine Arts Director Cathy Connor Moen and high school Choral Instructor Ashley Nelson. Dean Calusdian has designed a brilliant 3D set that launches the cast out into the audience, helping to bring the 1971 film to life on stage.

Look for ‘Everlasting Gobstoppers‘ and ‘Wonka Bars’ provided by the Backstage Boosters at the concession stand during the intermission in this two-hour performance. Caution: chocolate river levels are rising, please watch your step.
