Hoffman Middle Theater Students Win Big at District Event

Disponible en:

The students from Hoffman Middle School’s Performing Theater Class participated in the District Speech Competition held at Mac Arthur High School on Saturday, Feb. 9. They performed “The Last Fat Man” by Karen Boettcher Tate.

The play is about a futuristic world in which the government doesn’t want any overweight folks and prohibits people from eating food. Instead, the government has the population take a pill for nourishment. However, a fat man and the black market in food foil the government’s plan.

The students’ hard work paid off as they brought home several awards. Stefany Robles received the Best Actress Award for playing the Fat Man. Beatriz Castro and Natalie Pineda were named to the District All-Star Cast while Skylar Tate and Joceline González were named to the Honorable Mention District All-Star Cast.

The cast and the crew worked together to make the play a success, winning second place in the district competition. Hoffman staff, students and community are looking forward to seeing the play performed during Hoffman Middle School’s Open House Night set for Feb. 28.
