It is our pleasure to introduce you, through this Study Guide, to one of Repertorio Español’s most successful and exciting programs: the “Nuestras Voces” Playwright Competition sponsored by The Metropolitan Life Foundation & The Jerome Foundation. In this first booklet we cover the first two winners (2000 and 2001) of the competition: Vieques, by Puerto Rican playwright Jorge González, and Búfalo herido (Wounded Buffalo) by Mexican playwright Jorge Celaya.
We hope that the materials collected here will convince teachers to bring their classes to see these insightful and entertaining plays. For those teachers who decide to bring their classes, we hope these pages are useful in preparing themselves and their students for the experience. And we especially hope this booklet will allow students who always have been a vital audience to Repertorio Español, to have a much richer and informed theatre-going experience.
For each of the plays, the Study Guide includes a synopsis of the story; a profile of the author; representative scenes from the play, in Spanish; brief texts that provide additional cultural and historical information to help the students understand the stories in context; reviews and commentaries; quotes that catch the soul of each character; study questions for class activity and discussion; and a list of suggested readings and websites, for those students who wish to know more about the various aspects of Latino life and culture presented in each play.
Since 1968, Repertorio Español has produced Siglo de Oro classics, romantic dramas, musical reviews, zarcuelas, dances, modern masterpieces, and specially commissioned new plays about the Hispanic American experience. No Hispanic theater in the United States has brought such a broad selection of plays to Spanish speaking audiences. No theater of any kind in this country has kept so many plays current in a revolving repertory. As their many grants and awards prove, Repertorio Español is a national treasure.
Don’t miss the fun and education of seeing great Hispanic plays in the hands of these wonderful, experienced professionals.
Call 212-889-2850 and make arrangements today to bring you students to a special performance of one or both of these plays.
