Flour Bluff Theatre Production Earns Standing Ovation

On Nov. 4 and 5, Flour Bluff High School’s theater department featured their first play of the year, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The Flour Bluff theater staff had been working on the play since September and, as a result, had a lot to say about the play’s production.

“We had time limitations in productions. . . we had a big number of kids who, while very helpful, were at the same time sometimes hard to always manage,” said junior Alexis Adame, who played the role of the narrator.

However, even with these issues, Adame was still very happy with how the overall play turned out. “I have to say the best scene, in my opinion, would be the opening scene where all the characters were introduced by the narrator.”

Personal favorite scene aside, Adame was also excited to see how the audience would react to the play.

“One thing I was excited for the audience to see was how cast members would pop up from the audience’s seats and reveal that they were really part of the play,” said Adame.
