Parker Bennefield

Parker is so excited to be back on the Cutting Edge stage for his fourth show and to be playing the role of Charlie Bucket! He was last seen on the CECA stage playing the role of Flynn Rider in Tangled, Crush in Finding Nemo Jr., and Michael in Elf the Musical! Some of his other credits include: Hero Child on The Polar Express in New Orleans, Gomez in The Addams Family at SLT, and Freddie in Our City of Saints at JPAS. Additional recent highlights have been being selected as the in-game host for an NBA game, being a featured actor in a regional commercial, and being a background character for Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, as well as another movie that hasn’t been released yet! He loves to sing, act, tumble, and play basketball and is so thankful to be given another opportunity to be on stage. Thank you to Mr. Brian, Mr. Earl, and everyone else involved in putting on this show for all you do! Special shoutout to his mom, who also plays his mom in the show!!
