Upper Elementary aged students though Middle School and Junior High ages would enjoy this play.)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>This play has Spanish. This play has English. This play has them both together in the same sentence: Spanglish! In school, an English speaking tough-guy bully falls head over heels in love for an Hispanic girl. All goes well until he becomes victimized by a lack of Spanish language skills, simply because he doesn\u2019t know that \u201cprima\u201d in Spanish means \u201ccousin\u201d. His prior treatment of his fellow students is also a hindrance for him to be understood by them &#8212; no matter how much he longs to be understood. But, enlightenment, and compassionate treatment bring a happy ending. The play has seven song lyrics ready for musical improvisation by your cast.\u00a0 OR you can purchase the Piano-Vocal Lead Sheet Score that includes music for all of them and the backing tracks to sing them to. The music is varied and fun with many styles like 50s bop, rap, swing, marching band, and more.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>PLAY DETAILS<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Cast of 7 principals (2m 2f 3either) + extras<\/li>\n<li>Simple space setting<\/li>\n<li>Contemporary costumes<\/li>\n<li>About 40 minutes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Order # 3169<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now Available!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>REVIEWS and COMMENTS:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>SOON<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>PERUSAL MATERIALS<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Perusal Pages File<\/strong> available below.
