Los Angeles, CA; Director Biography - Noah Weisberg B015cdba21 headshot Weisberg can currently be seen starring as Willy Wonka in the critically acclaimed Broadway touring production of “Charlie & the Chocolate Factory.” He wrote, directed, produced and starred in the short film “What’s Life Got To Do With It?,” which won numerous festival awards across the country, including best short at The Vail Film Festival. An NYU graduate (Tisch School of the Arts) Weisberg has recurred on ABC’s “Modern Family,” TNT’s “Major Crimes,” and NBC’s “Law & Order.” Additional credits include CBS’ “The Good Wife” and “Bad Teacher,” Fox’s “Bones” and “The New Normal,” to name a few. In animation, he was a series regular on Disney’s “JoJo’s Circus,” and lent his voice to Amazon’s Emmy award winning “The Snowy Day,” opposite Regina King, Angela Bassett, and Laurence Fishburne. As a theatre veteran, he created roles in the original Broadway productions of “South Pacific,” “Enron,” “Elf,” and “Legally Blonde.” He was seen in “Two Gentlemen of Verona” opposite Oscar Isaac and Rosario Dawson at New York’s legendary Shakespeare in the Park. Aside from performing on stage, Weisberg also co-wrote “The Awesome 80’s Prom,” which ran off Broadway for a decade. In film, Weisberg appeared in the Academy Award-nominated feature “Across the Universe,” “And Then Came Love” opposite Vanessa Williams, and in Woody Allen’s “Curse of the Jade Scorpion.” Director Statement I am very proud of our cast, crew and the film that we all made together. The smartest thing I did on this project was to surround myself with dedicated artists who taught me so much along the way and made the final product better than I could have ever imagined. One of my favorite parts of the process was recording the all original score with 18 incredible musicians. It's one of the prettiest, most lush and emotional scores I've heard in a long time...and I can't wait for everyone to hear it!
