2nd Annual Latino Play Festival at Northfield High School

For the second year, Jennifer Lompart's English as a Second Language class will present a Latino Play Festival at the Northfield High School auditorium this Friday and Saturday evenings, May 11 and 12. The perfomances start at 6 pm each evening, followed by coffeehouse entertainment on Friday night from 8-10 pm. Admission is $5.

According to Lompart, the first half of the show will delve into challenges that Latinos face living in America. Examples are living with parents who work long hours in factories, misunderstanding the importance of athletics, and even stories about how some students came to live in Northfield. The second half will be more upbeat, taking a peek at the positive aspects of the actors' lives and their dreams for the future.
