Can anyone recommend a Latino Play that would work with High School students?
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

I absolutly love Anna in the Tropics... but I don't know how it would work in a high school setting (but I saw a university production of it that worked well).

As a Latino myself, I can tell you that there is not much out there. And besides, latino is broad. ANNA is about Cubans. ZUIT SUIT about Mexicans. WEST SIDE STORY Puerto Ricans. Nothing for Central Americans or South Americans ( unless you count EVITA)

Have you seen the documentary OT: OUR TOWN? IT is about a high school teacher in Compton putting on Production of OUR TOWN... one of the whitest plays ever with variety of races in the cast. The play became about Compton rather than Grovers Corners and it was brilliant.

My favorite Latino playwright in Maria Irene Fornes, but her plays are hardly appropriate for teens.
