Pure Imagination

Phoenix presents ‘Willy Wonka’

BY JOSH MCAULIFFE Special to the triboro banner

Phoenix Performing Arts Centre has a treat in store for kids and parents the next two weekends — a trip inside the weird and wonderful world of Willie Wonka.

Starting Friday, March 1, and continuing through Sunday, March 10, Phoenix Kids will present a stage adaptation of the beloved children’s classic, “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.”

The show will run Fridays and Saturdays at 7 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. at the theater, 409 Main St., Duryea. Tickets are $10; $5 for kids 5 and younger. Reservations are recommended and can be made by calling 570-457-3589.

The show is based off the 1964 novel of the same name by legendary children’s author Roald Dahl. It revolves around a poor boy named Charlie Bucket, who along with four spoiled children, tour the chocolate factory of the reclusive and odd confectioner Willy Wonka.

The book has been adapted twice into movies — 1971’s “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,” starring the late Gene Wilder as Wonka, and the 2005 Tim Burtondirected “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” with Johnny Depp playing an even more eccentric version of Wonka.

The book was adapted into a Broadway musical in 2013. According to Phoenix artistic director Lee LaChette, the show was quite dark and off-putting. The show Phoe-

nix is adapting, for the second time in the last five years, is an entirely different stage production that has more in common with the Wilder film and is much more family friendly, said LaChette.

“This is the nice version,” LaChette said with a laugh. “It’s the Oompa Loompas and all that good stuff. There’s a little bit of variation, but it definitely has all the twisted humor and the weird, eccentric Wonka. But they don’t push it too far to scare anyone.”

LaChette is the show’s director and choreographer. The rest of the crew includes musical director Jackie Legg, assistant director Meg Davis, assistant choreographers Sarah Neel and Brooke Taylor, and dance captain Brooke Manley.

Meanwhile, the cast features about 40 kids ages 5 to 13, all of whom are having a ball inhabiting the colorful characters and performing the production’s 20 or so musical numbers.

“The kids are doing fantastic. They’re rocking it as usual,” LaChette said. “The little, little kids are the Oompa Loompas.

Charlie is being played by Colton Haddick, and this is maybe his third show for us. Willie Wonka is a veteran, Brock Marion. This will be his last production with the littles.

He’s ready to move up.”

For the stage design and props, “we went as elaborate as you can get,” said LaChette, noting various elements include an Everlasting Gobstopper machine, a TV camera for the Wonkavision scene, the Bucket house, and, of course, candy bars with golden tickets.

“Everyone is having a really good time with this,” LaChette said. “This one is just so fun. You’ve got to give the kids something they enjoy doing.”

BY JEANIE SLUCK TAYLOR COMMUNITY LIBRARY

New audio books available at the Taylor Community Library.

David Baldacci (above) has been writing since childhood, when his mother gave him a lined notebook in which to write down his stories. He published his first novel, “Absolute Po w e r, ” i n 1 9 9 6 . Th e fe a t u re f i l m adaptation followed, with Clint Eastwood as its director and star. Baldacci has published 37 novels for adults; all have been national and international bestsellers, and several have been adapted for film and television.

His nov els are publis hed in more than 45 languages and in more than 80 countries, with more than 130 million worldwide sales. David has also p u bl i s h e d s i x n o v e l s fo r y o u n ge r readers.

“The Target” The President knows it’s a highr i s k a s s i g n m e n t . I f h e g ive s t h e order, he has the opportunity to take down a global menace, once and for all. If the mission fails, he would face certain impeachment, and the threats a g ainst the nation would multiply. So the president tur ns to the one team that can pull of f the impossible, Will Robie and his partner, Jessica Reel. To gether, Robie and Reel’s talents as assassins are unmatched. There are some in power

who don’t trust the pair. They doubt their willingness to follow orders.

They will do anything to see that the two assassins succeed, but that they do not survive. As they prepare for their mission, Reel faces a personal crisis that could well lead old enemies right to her doorstep, resurrecting the ghosts of her earlier life and bringing stark danger to all those close to her. While, Robie and Reel are stalked by a new adversary. This i s a wo m a n wh o h a s t r a i n e d h e r entire life to kill, and who has her own list of targets, which includes Will Robie and Jessica Reel.

“The Last Mile” Convicted murderer Melvin Mars i s c o u n t i n g d ow n t h e l a s t h o u r s before his execution, for the violent killing of his parents twenty years earlier, when he’s granted an unexpected reprieve. Another man has confessed to the crime. Amos Decker, newly hired on an FBI special task force, takes an interest in Mars’ case after discovering the striking similarities to his own life: both men were talented football players with promising careers cut short by tragedy. Both men’s families were brutally murdered. In both cases, another suspect came forward, years after the killing, to confess to the crime. A suspect who may or may not have been telling the truth. The confession has the potential to make Melvin Mars a free man. Who wants Mars out of prison and why now?

When a member of Decker’s team disappears, it becomes clear that something much larg er and more s i n i s t e r t h a n j u s t o n e c o nv i c t e d criminal’s life hangs in the balance.

Decker will need all of his extraordinary brainpower to stop an innocent man from being executed.

“No Man’s Land” John Puller’s mother, Jackie, vanished thir ty years a go from For t Monroe, Virginia, when Puller was just a boy. Paul Rogers has been in prison for ten years. Twenty years before that, he was at Fort Monroe.

One night three decades ago, Puller’s and Rogers’ worlds collided with devastating results, and the truth has been buried ever since. Now military investigators, ar med with a letter from a friend of Jackie’s, arrive in the hospital room of Puller’s father-a le gendary three-star now sinking into dementia-and reveal that Puller Sr. has been accused of murdering his wife. Aided by his brother Robert P u l l e r, a n A i r Fo r c e m a j o r, a n d Ve ro n i c a K n ox , wh o wo rk s fo r a shadowy U.S. intelligence organization, Puller be gins a jour ney that will take him into his own past, to find the truth about his mother. Paul Rogers’ time is running out. With the cl o ck t i ck i n g , h e b e g i n s h i s ow n j o u r n e y, o n e t h a t w i l l t a ke h i m across the country to the place where all his troubles began: a mysterious building on the grounds of Fort Monroe. There, thirty years ago, the man Rogers had once been vanished too, and was re placed with a monster.

N ow t h e m o n s t e r w a n t s reve n g e.

Now the only person standing in his way is John Puller.

“Memory Man” Amos Decker’s life changed forever, twice. The first time was on the gridiron. A big, towering athlete, he was the only person from his hometown ever to play in the NFL. However his career ended before it had a chance to be gin. On his very first play, a violent helmet-to-helmet collision knocked him off the field forever, and left him with an improbable side effect--he can forget nothing. The second time was at home n e a rly t wo d e c a d e s l at e r. N ow a police detective, Decker retur ned from a stakeout one evening and entered a nightmare--his wife, young daughter, and brother-in-law had been murdered. His family destroyed, their killer’s identity as mysterious as the motive behind the crime, and unable to forget a single

detail from that hor rible night, Decker finds his world collapsing around him. He leaves the police force, loses his home, and winds up on the street, taking piecemeal jobs as a private investig ator when he can. But over a year later, a man tur ns himself in to the police and confesses to the murders. At the same time a hor rific event nearly brings Burlington to its knees, and Decker is called back in to help with this investigation. Decker also seizes his chance to lear n what really happened to his family that night.

To uncover the stunning truth, he must use his remarkable gifts and confront the burdens that go along with them. He must endure the memories he would much rather forget.

And he may have to make the ultimate sacrifice.

“The Guilty” Will Robie escaped his small Gulf Coast hometown of Cantrell, Mississippi after high school, severing all personal ties, and never looked back.

Not until the unimaginable occurs.

H i s f a t h e r, D a n Ro b i e, h a s b e e n arrested and charged with murder.

Father and son haven’t spoken or seen each other since the day Will left town. In that time, Dan Robie a pillar of the community, has been elected town judg e. Despite this, most of Cantrell is aligned against Dan. His guilt is assumed. To make matters worse, Dan has refused to do anything to defend himself. When R o b i e t r i e s t o h e l p, h i s f a t h e r responds only with anger and defiance. Could Dan really be guilty?

With Jessica Reel at his side, Robie i g n o r e s h i s f a t h e r ’s w i s h e s a n d begins his own desperate investigat i o n i n t o t h e c a s e. Wi l l i s n ow a stranger to his hometown. His attempts to save his father are met with distrust and ske pticism and most of all violence. He is drawn into the hidden underside of Cantrell, where he must f ace the unexpected and possibly deadly consequences of the long-ago choices made by father and son.

prisoners dream of escaping. They know it’s impossible, until now. John Puller’s older brother, Robert, was convicted of treason. His inexplicable escape from prison makes him the most wanted criminal in the country. Some in the gover nment believe that John Puller represents their best chance at capturing Robert alive, and so Puller must bring in his brother to face justice. Puller quickly discovers that his brother is pursued by others who don’t want him to survive. Puller is in tur n pushed into an uneasy, fraught partnership

with another agent, who may have an agenda of her own. As they dig deeper into the case together, and Puller finds that not only are her alle giances unclear, but there are troubling details about his brother’s conviction and someone out there doesn’t want the truth to ever come to light.

Chocolate overload

Dickson City man’s ultra-moist cake and frosting explode with flavor

het Novack’s motto when it comes to cooking and baking?

Go all out.

The Dickson City resident, along with wife, Christina, and son, Luke, 10, are known for their elaborate dishes and desserts among family and friends.

This includes a rich and decadent recipe for Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting. Novack came upon the recipe while searching for a good smash cake to make for his nephew’s birthday party. The toddler would get to dig into the cake with his hands, which would make for unforgettable photos, but that didn’t mean Novack was about to skimp on the recipe.

“I like being creative, and so much goes into the process of making it,” Novack said during a recent afternoon inside the family’s Midvalley home. “We always do it big.”

Through a version he found online and some of his own touches, he made a batch of the recipe as cupcakes and sent them out to neighbors and friends for a taste test. They were a hit, and his nephew got a lush chocolate smash cake in the shape of a Lego.

Now, Novack keeps the recipe handy for any time that calls for a chocolate fix. The recipe, which earned Novack a $50 grocery gift card, is straight-forward. The most important ingredient in the cake is boiling water, which Novack thinks gives the cake its appealing texture. The batter will look watery, but Novack assured that that’s perfectly fine.

“You might get a little worried it’s so liquidy, but I really think that lends to how rich and moist the cake turns out,” he said.

If you can imagine eating a slice

Coming next week: Meet the next local cook and their winning recipe.

THETiMES-TriBuNE.COM of heaven, the cake tasted even better. Those with chocolate aversions beware: this is a full-blown explosion of chocolate. From the velvety and ultra-moist cake to the sweet, creamy and almost sinful frosting, the cake is chocolate overload in the best way possible.

The Novacks’ kitchen is always buzzing with activity. The family creates ethnic dishes such as pierogies, kielbasa and ravioli as well as dozens of cookies, pies and cakes.

They use recipes passed down from Novack’s grandmother and mom plus those from his wife’s family, and they even come up with their own creations, including a Chocolate Mousse Pie with layers of smooth caramel and a crunchy Oreo cookie crust. Smoking and grilling are big summer pastimes, including Novack’s favorite, Smoked Chicken Wings.

Cooking and baking ramps up during the holidays, but Novack insisted being imaginative in the kitchen is a year-round activity.

“We think, ‘What’s there a need for?’” he said. “No matter what it is, we’re going to do it, and we’re going all in.”

University of Success accepting

applications: The University of Scranton’s University of Success, a four-year, precollege mentorship program, is now accepting applications for the upcoming 2019 academic year that begins this summer. Applicants must be currently enrolled in the eighth grade and possess a strong desire to attend college in the future.

The University of Success, offered free of charge to participants, is designed to provide academic, social and cultural enrichment to area high school students.

The program’s ultimate goal is to assist first-generation, college-bound students to successfully gain entrance into a college or university. The program is funded almost entirely by corporate and foundation grants.

The program begins with a two-week summer institute, which is held on the campus of The University of Scranton, in July. Upon completion of the summer program, the students will continue to meet for enrichment sessions through their high school career.

The deadline for submission of applications is Monday, April 1.

Applications may be obtained by calling the University of Success Office at 570-941-4377 or by emailing margaret. loughney@scranton.edu. Applications may also be obtained online the University of Success web site, scranton.edu/ academics/pcps/leahy/success/admissions.shtml.
