During spring semester, students in Dr. Nancy Mason’s Spanish 2002 class wrote and produced an original play based on the exemplary novel, La Gitanilla (The Little Gypsy) by Miguel de Cervantes. Consisting of seven scenes narrated by Maria Guijon, the play told the story of a beautiful young gypsy girl (Kim Shaw) and the young Spanish nobleman (Ibrahim Awad) who wanted to marry her. Sydney Holloway accompanied the players with gypsy music on the guitar, and prior to the production Maria Guijon provided a Power Point presentation about the lives and culture of Spanish gypsies.
