Synopsis

Calabasas Street follows a young boy named Domingo Sanchez who learns the true meaning of friendship when his baseball accidentally drops into the yard of La Vuida Martinez. All the children of the neighborhood are afraid of her. They think she's crazy because she searches through people's garbage and hauls it back to her house. What does she do with it? The mystery is too much for Domingo. He soon discovers La Vuida Martinez is a widow and she isn't crazy. She collects junk and transforms it into art. This chance encounter becomes a lifelong friendship between Domingo and La Vuida Martinez, sharing fun, stories and making Mexican piñatas.

Customer Reviews

"This was an excellent play, characters have potential for development, story provides rising action, climax and resolution. This short play has everything a full length play consists of, and is all wrapped up neatly in a few pages. It is ideal for a middle school or elementary production UIL or otherwise."
Review by Alberto Guajardo, Lamar Bruni Vergara Middle School, Laredo, Texas
"A great challenging role for the male leadÉnice comedic moments and a couple of touching scenes. A fun show to work on and a good opportunity to relate with Hispanic and non-Hispanic audiences alike."
