Matt Canon is a long-time member of the Deerfield Family Theatre (DFT) community. He first performed with DFT in 2008 and has since taken on various roles, including acting, stage managing, and now directing. Matt is excited to be directing DFT’s upcoming production of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” which opens on November 15, 2024. He explains that this version is much closer to the original Roald Dahl book than previous adaptations, with a modern twist and some subtle changes to the story. Matt also recently acted in DFT’s production of “Noises Off.” He enjoys switching between acting and directing roles, as he believes it keeps him fresh and helps him understand both perspectives. Matt is thrilled to be working with some familiar faces from DFT’s 2009 “Willy Wonka” production, and he is confident the show will be a hit with audiences of all ages.
