BHS junior qualifies for state theatrical design contest

Adamari Alonso, junior at Bowie High School, has qualified for the state theatrical design competition conducted through the University Interscholastic League in May.
Theater Arts Teacher April Word explained this is Bowie’s first year to enter this contest. Students were entered into marketing, prop, costume and set design as well.
Alonso is the daughter of Eduardo and Angelica Alonso.
Students were given a musical and this year it was “Axoloris” by Shawn Mendelson. Word explained after reading and researching the play they had to create as though they were professionals in the theater industry.
“They started by creating a vision board with the requirement it be inspired by an artist or artistic movement. For hair and makeup they had to choose three characters from the show and map out a design for them, and then create it on a model. Then they wrote an essay justifying the design choices they made,” the teacher explained.
All of this was submitted to UIL and through several rounds they chose six from the state to compete. The UIL theater arts webpage shows a total of 12 finalist for the 1A-3A category.
