“I felt it was something that would bring joy to the community no matter their nationality. “It’s a really new experience for me, I’ve never actually been in a play, much less been a lead, and it’s been really neat because it’s helped me get myself out there more,” Osvaldo Morales, who portrays Rudy, said. “It’s been great working with people you don’t see every day and seeing how you get along with them,” cast member Fernando Nunez, who portrays Alex, said. I knew it would be perfect for us to do.”Īnd overall, working on the show has been a great experience.
“I knew of this awesome Mexican-American poet Gary Soto and had a couple of his poetry books, and I called him and asked him if he had written any plays and he said ‘I have two of them!’ So I asked if I could read them and he immediately sent me copies of ‘ Novio Boy’ and all I had to read was the first scene because it was so funny. I also wanted to do something cheerful because there was so much going on at the time when I was looking for this play,” Van Hessen said. “When I was searching for plays this summer, I wanted to find something I could incorporate the Liberal Latin community into. The humor, director Michelle Van Hessen said, is what drew her to the play. The drama department will be presenting the Gary Soto play “ Novio Boy,” which focuses on the story of Rudy as he prepares to go on his first date with Isabella. Everyone goes through the experience of their first date with someone at some point in their lives, and an upcoming production at Seward County Community College should bring about some memories and laughter about that experience.
