Berkeley Playhouse Presents Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory media contact: erica lewis-finein brightbutterfly pr brightbutterfly[at]hotmail.com BERKELEY PLAYHOUSE CLOSES MAIN STAGE SEASON WITH “ROALD DAHL’S WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY” July 14-August 19, 2012 Music and Lyrics by Anthony Newley and Lyrics by Leslie Bricusse Adapted for stage by Leslie Bricusse and Tim McDonald Based on the book Charlie and The Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl Berkeley (June 12, 2012) – Berkeley Playhouse closes its 2011-12 main stage season with a delicious adaptation of ROALD DAHL’S WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY. Berkeley Playhouse founding Artistic Director Elizabeth McKoy helms this musical treat, based on Roald Dahl’s stylish children’s story about the world famous candy man, starring noted Bay Area singer/songwriter, musician, and recording artist Vernon Bush in the title role. ROALD DAHL’S WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY plays July 14 through August 19 (Press opening: July 14) at the Julia Morgan Theatre in Berkeley. For tickets ($17-35) and more information, the public may visit berkeleyplayhouse.org or call 510-845-8542x351. Willy Wonka, owner of a magical and mysterious chocolate factory, excels at making candy. He is ready to retire, however, and sets out on a quest to find a “bright spark,” an honest and worthy heir to continue his candy confectioning. Filled with sweet surprises, including aerial acrobatics, bungee jumping, and a professional Oompa Loompa dance ensemble, WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY features such memorable tunes from the classic family film as “The Candy Man,” “Pure Imagination,” “Oompa Loompa,” and “I Want it Now” by Academy and Grammy Award winners Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley; the musical also features a new script adapted under the auspices of the Dahl Estate. “We are taking WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY back to its cinematic and musical roots, the 1970s,” said director and Berkeley Playhouse Artistic Director Elizabeth McKoy. “Our production is a funkadelic interpretation of the classic Roald Dahl story about rediscovering love, faith, and hope in the future. Wonka yearns to rediscover innocence in a world that he believes has gone haywire. The world that we are living in today can certainly feel like it has gone haywire as well. The music in WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY is fun and energetic and we BERKELEY PLAYHOUSE PRESENTS “WILLY WONKA” 2-2-2-2-2-2-2 hope that this production not only portrays all that makes Roald Dahl’s stories special, but also reinterprets it in a way that provides a bit of escapism, a journey of pure imagination, for the musicians, actors, and audiences alike.” Vernon Bush makes his Berkeley Playhouse debut as Willy Wonka in WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY. Bush is a singer/songwriter, musician and recording artist. He worked closely with the late Whitney Houston as well as jazz legend Nancy Wilson. Additionally, he has opened for artists including Gladys Knight, Stanley Jordan, Mickey Hart, and Michael Franti & Spearhead, and has toured all over the world. He is a member of the a cappella group Sovoso and is also a featured vocalist with the Glide Ensemble Choir at the world-renowned Glide Memorial Church in San Francisco.

In partnership with Work Light Productions, MacDonald directed and developed four touring productions: Broadway Junior on Tour, Disney’s Discover Theater, Frankly Ben, and The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley.

Roald Dahl was a British novelist, short story writer, poet, and screenwriter. Dahl rose to prominence in the 1940s with works for both children and adults and became one of the world's best-selling authors. His short stories are known for their unexpected endings, and his children’s books for their unsentimental, often very dark humor. His first children’s book was The Gremlins (1943), about mischievous little creatures that were part of Royal Air Force folklore. Dahl went on to create some of the best-loved children’s stories of the 20th century, such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, James and the Giant Peach, The Witches, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, The BFG, George’s Marvelous Medicine, and Fantastic Mr Fox. Regarded as one of the greatest storytellers for children of the 20th century, Dahl ranks among the world's best-selling fiction authors; his books have been published in almost 50 languages. Dahl died in 1990. Berkeley Playhouse was founded in 2007 by Artistic Director Elizabeth McKoy, a professional theater actor, director, and teacher for over 25 years.

  • PICKWICK PAPERS Charles Dickens
    HUMANITIES INSTITUTE Frederic Will, Ph.D. PICKWICK PAPERS Charles Dickens Overview An episodic novel—the first novel by Charles Dickens—published in serial form in 1836-7, and in book form in l837. Dickens had become popular through his Sketches by Boz(1816), which were a series of sketches of London life, with strong emphasis on character portrayal. The kind of sociological- ironic tone of the present novel, part journalism and part work in the great tradition of the novel, shows the overwhelming passion of Dickens forsocial character analysis. The powerful portraits to come— in David Copperfield, Great Expectations, or Oliver Twist—are heralded in The Pickwick Papers. Story Mr. Samuel Pickwick is the organizing principle of this episodic novel which tracks some of the adventures of its protagonist. Samuel Pickwick is not a dominating figure, but rather a spirited enthusiast (in the spirit of his time) for the English countryside and country ways, a sentimentalist, and a compassionate appreciator of the eccentricities and local colorings of the English people. Not only is Pickwick wealthy, but he is ‘administrative,’ for it is he who enlists three of his friends to join him on coach jaunts throughout the English countryside. In appearance and manner Pickwick is, like all Dickens’ characters, a broad caricature: the man ‘who had agitated the scientific world with his Theory of Tittlebats,’ an amateur naturalist picking up, as were many in the times of Wordsworth, privileged amateurism, and the thoughts of Charles Darwin. Travelling throughout England by coach, stopping at Inns for the night, Pickwick is in constant touch with what seems to him the most agreeable face of his land.

Willy Wonka is a larger than life, if socially challenged, businessman. His workplace is lavishly decorated. He wears a conspicuous hat. He invites children to witness his presentations, then asks them to leave when they misbehave. I’ve been thinking about Willy Wonka a lot while following the campaign of Donald Trump. Like Wonka, Trump exists in a world of pure imagination. On the campaign trail, America’s would-be sugar daddy has made some whoppers of pledges— from tearing up trade deals to strong-arming NATO to enacting massive tax cuts, all the while improving our way of life, should he be elected in November. Trump’s signature campaign promise has been to build a wall to keep away illegal Mexican immigrants, whom he has described as “criminals, drug dealers, rapists.” In his opening speech as candidate for president on June 16, 2015, he said, “I would build a great wall.
