Today, English. Tomorrow, Spanish. - The Boston Globe

“Davila plays the same role in both languages. And in doing so, she’s part of a sustained effort to make theater more accessible for Spanish-language audiences in Chelsea and Greater Boston.

The outdoor performances (one language per night) mark the fourth year the company has staged a play in two languages, using an ensemble of mostly local bilingual actors. Because of a shortage of truly fluent Spanish-speaking actors in Greater Boston, many of the actors do double duty to fill out the cast.

And the actors don’t seem to mind the extra lines. For some whose first language is Spanish, the bilingual productions let them entertain fellow Hispanic audiences who might not be interested in English-language-only plays.”
