A group of 24 Port Chester High School juniors had the unique learning experience of seeing the “La casa de Bernarda Alba” play live at Repertorio Español in Manhattan on Feb. 8. The students, who had read Federico García Lorca’s play in their classes, participated in a lecture and question-and-answer session.

“We hope to instill in our students a love of reading and an appreciation for Hispanic literature,” said Yomahira Carreras, a Spanish teacher and world language department chairperson. “They enjoyed seeing something they read become a live experience.”

The experience was made possible thanks to Spanish teachers Yomahira Carreras, Magdalena Padilla and Marjorie Venegas.
