Willy Wonka the Musical

4/5/2013

I did about twenty performances playing the title character in this abridged musical version of the classic movie. I also play the Candy Man and a reporter. This was another children's theater production I did with Plaza Theatrical Productions. We toured around Long Island, NY, performing at schools, theaters, and libraries. The cast includes Brendan Hunt (me) as Wonka, TC Weiss as Augustus Gloop, Carrie Heffernan as Veruca Salt, Lisa Berman as Mother, Caitlyn Ryan as Violet, Andrew as Charlie, and Trevor Firetog as Mike TV.

The Wizard of Oz

This Plaza Theatrical Production is a live performance of the Wizard of Oz, featuring Caitlin Ryan as Dorothy, Brendan Hunt as the Scarecrow, Renier Schepers as the Tin Man, T.C. Weiss as the Cowardly Lion, Carrie Heffernan as Glinda, and Jack Holly as the Wizard.

I worked with T.C. and Carrie again on Willy Wonka and Jack Frost later that year. I had previously worked with Jack Holly on Romeo and Juliet (2004) and Taming of the Shrew (2005), and with Carrie on The Tempest (2010). These were all done by Plaza Theatrical Prod., a great place to hone your chops as an actor and meet other talented individuals. I'll be adding a downloadable version of this video soon.

This is a one-act dark comedy written by Margot Perry, the daughter of my High School drama teacher. It was entered into a contest at the Manhattan Rep Theater and made it all the way to the final round!

We were invited back to perform at the theater about three times before we finally lost to some other goofy show. I play a creepy butler in this one. A bunch of the lines & other humorous bits were improvised on the spot in every performance.

Time Limit! (full version)

This is a complete staged reading of the play "Time Limit!" sponsored by Times Square Playwrights and WBAI Radio. I had previously acted in this role less than a year before, at the Intrepid Museum. This time, we performed in the basement of a library in downtown Manhattan. The reading was hosted by Tom Thornton, creator of Times Square Playwrights. The parts with black and white coloring indicate flashbacks to a Korean prison camp during the war. In certain spots, not all the actors are in frame, so you'll have to excuse that bit haha. This was done in conjunction with a selection of readings from the Civil War, which I participated in, hosted by WBAI's Hugh Hamilton. I don't remember the exact date of the performances, but it was some time during the winter of 2011/2012.
