PLAY TITLE:___LESSON TO BE LEARNED__
cription of each:
Character 1-Daniela want to marry somebody her dad doesnt aprove,just because she's mexican and he's black.
Character 2-Jose Daniela's dad,doesnt let her get married with who she wants to,he thinks that all blacks are the same,and he thinks that he doesnt love her.
Character 3 -Lamar Daniela's boyfriend(husband),loves Danela very much, and doesnt plan on hurting her.
Character 4-Juan Priest Talks to Daniela's father,and convinces him to give him a chance.
Stage directions: (Where is it set? What does the stage look like? What props are there? Who is on stage when the curtain rises? What are they going?)
Its been 2 years and 4 months that Daniela and Lamar have been together. Finally he asked her to get married in two months, so they can officially be together.
Lamar- "Daniela, we have been together for a long time, and we know eachother very well. So i been thinking if you wanted to get married?"
Daniela- "You know that my parents wont like this idea,specially my dad, he just accepted us being together 3months ago, hes going to think its to soon and that me and you will not work out."
Lamar walked off alone, he felt sad and lonley. While Daniela stayed behind thinking of what she should do. She thought to her self, " if i really love him, nothing can break us apart." So she went home that day and sat her father on the couch to listen to her.
Daniela"Dad, you know how i really love Lamar, and we have been together for such along time,i know you dont like him but, your not the one dealing with him, I'am. "
Jose "Im not going to accept him in any way, you weren't raised this way,i dont even know how you could even like somebody thats a diffrent race. They are all traders and haters. They are raisist to mexicans, dont you know that? We were tought to like are own race, mexicans should be with mexicans.
Daniela- "But you dont understand. Its not even about the outside, he cares for me for who I'am, not because of my looks, i care for him too. He comes from such a great family, his father is a priest at church, his mom died when he was 12. All he has been trying to do is to get your attention. He's not a bad guy.
Jose- "I dont care what he comes from,i just dont want you near that boy!!"
Jose walked out, and went to the community church, so he can talk to the priest and get help.
Juan- "Welcome, now how may i help you here"
Jose- "Daniela wants to get married, but she will marry a black guy. I just dont feel confterable with that"
Juan- "Well, its her choice, if she really likes him, let her be, she only gets to live once. Your mom didnt like your wife, even though she is mexican, but yet she still approved her. Its not about the outside or there past, it all matters inside, and if your daughter is happy with him then you should be too. Just give him a chance.
Jose-"I guess i should, well thanks for your help Juan, i really appreciate it.
That night Jose changed his mind about Lamar, he knew he was a good guy. He only jugded him from the outside. Luckly for Daniela she got the good news the following morning.
