IB Spanish classes went to the GALA Hispanic Theatre on April 15 where they watched Chronicle of a Death Foretold. The play is based off of a book by Nobel Prize winner Gabriel García Márquez, which some of the classes had read beforehand.
“It was really fun, I think the best experience was seeing it live after we read the book in class,” sophomore Brenda Henriquez said. “I think the presentation made it really life-like and the actors were great along with the costumes and scenes.”
The trip, a first for the language department, also set the potential for future trips.
“It makes the language come to life to the kids not just in the classroom, but also out of it,” IB Spanish teacher Silvia Montes said.
The play will run at the GALA Theatre until May 8.
