For more than five decades, TAMUK\u2019s theater department has brought laughter into the hearts of many children within the Kingsville community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This year was no exception as the play written by Dylan Martin Mendoza, \u201cHunt for the Goldilocks,\u201d had several laughing and having a good time during the show. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The traditional \u201cGoldilocks and the Three Bears\u201d folktale is now being told through Goldilocks\u2019s perspective giving a whole new spin to the popular story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papa Mayor hosts a town meeting in which he addresses the town\u2019s issues when suddenly the hunt for Goldilocks begins and takes the audience into an unexpected adventure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The heart-warming spin-off revolves around the themes of acceptance and appreciation towards one another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The cast projected charisma and color, often interacting with the audience to help find Goldilocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The engaging play is an original piece, directed by Payton Howell and Ashley Salinas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, this was my first time directing, it\u2019s a whole new experience. My favorite scene was the picnic scene. I just think the characters bring a lot of good energy and have a great dynamic. Ultimately, I\u2019m glad I was able to grow in theater,\u201d said Howell, the technical director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The cast had three weeks to prepare and execute a great show for the children. \u201cHunt for the Goldilocks\u201d was performed for three consecutive days starting Feb. 3 with the last performance Feb. 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs our first show comes to an end I feel happiness. It was a really good show and the characters all did great. I think once we get the children in here the place will go crazy. If we can make adults laugh, then we can make children laugh. My favorite scene is the ending, \u2018cause everyone is having a good time and Goldilocks gets accepted,\u201d said Salinas, the acting director.The cast did a great job bringing the characters to life , and managed to create a spirited performance for all to be able to enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI thought the play was funny and down to Earth. I like how they gave a spin to the original story of Goldilocks. It\u2019s cute for the children and it gives a positive message of acceptance,\u201d said Bethany Nieto, an accounting major.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
