About a year and a half ago, a group of us--mainly Spanish majors--went to El Paso and put on small scenes from Spanish Golden Age plays for schools. A lot of these kids (mostly Hispanic) had never seen anything like this in their own language. The actors would explain things about the play, call up kids to act out things and most often, make them laugh. I like this picture because it shows Chris and Emily's interaction with the students, with the ones sitting on the floor laughing. It was a really cool experience being with those kids for that week.
