Our award-winning theater crew is producing yet another thrilling play, Fahrenheit 451, Wednesday and Thursday of this week, December 20th and 21st, respectively. Tickets can be bought at the door, $12 for adults and $5 for students.

Every year, sophomores read the novel behind the play, Fahrenheit 451, in their English classes. This adaptation takes this plot and brings it to the stage here at Franklin High. The complex plot, in combination with familiar faces of FHS and the intricate set, create a play experience you won’t want to miss. With leads such as Kenny Bonilla as Guy Montag, Dan Schratz as Fire Chief Beatty, and Chloe Selznick as Mildred Montag, the character dynamic is set to wow audience members.

The cast members and crew have worked tirelessly over the course of the past four months, and are continuing to do so in the final days leading up to the big event. In order to grasp a better understanding of the individual cast and crew members and the experiences behind this production, we here at Pantherbook sat down with a few members of the theater family.
