Chapters were to be added "coast to coast" and original Broadway casts would be sent to the cities where these chapters were located. The brochure emphasizes the production of plays that "come up to the highest American traditions" encouraging "wider interest in the American drama in its native order of refined entertainment."

ANAYA RUDOLFO; ARAGiN CECILIA & CON DAVIS UNDIANO J. ROBERT AFTERWORD
Billy The Kid And Other Plays
University of Oklahoma Press Norman: 2011. Softcover. Brand new book. Seven plays by the master of Chicano storytelling While award-winning author Rudolfo Anaya is known primarily as a novelist his genius is also evident in dramatic works performed regularly in his native New Mexico and throughout the world. Billy the Kid and Other Plays collects seven of these works and offers them together for the first time. Like his novels many of Anaya's plays are built from the folklore of the Southwest. This volume opens with The Season of La Llorona in which Anaya fuses the Mexican legend of the dreaded "crying woman" with that of La Malinche mistress and adviser to Hernan Corts. Southwestern lore also shapes the title play which provides a Mexican American perspective on the Kid�or Bilito as he is known in New Mexico�along with keen insight into the slipperiness of history. The Farolitos of Christmas and Matachines uncover both the sweet and the sinister in stories behind seasonal New Mexican rituals. Other plays here address loss of the old ways�farming connection to the land the primacy of family�while showing the power of change. The mystery Who Killed Don Jos uses the murder of a wealthy sheep rancher to look at political corruption and modernization. Ay Compadre! and Angie address aging and death though with refreshing humor and optimism. Elegant and poetic intense and funny these are the plays Anaya considers his best. The author tells how each originated while Cecilia J. Aragon and Robert Con Davis-Undiano offer critical analysis and performance history. Both Anaya fans and readers new to his work will find this collection a rich trove as will community theaters and scholars in Chicano literature and drama.

"Anaya's voice never falters. . . . As with everything he writes there is a profound sense of hope and an unabashed love of his culture land and writing craft." - Multicultural Review "Anaya's characters' longing shimmers off elegiac deceptively simple prose captivating in its aspiration and achievement." - Publishers Weekly "As a playwright Rudolfo Anaya captures the rhythms and language of the New Mexican experience. His talent tenacity and breadth as an artist has inspired me. I have enjoyed working with Rudy and directing his plays because they were fun and had wonderful resonance with audiences both within and outside New Mexico. An anthology of his plays has tremendous cultural significance because it specifically offers Latino theatre artists' opportunities to develop and explore characters from a region seldom seen in popular culture." Marcos Martinez Professor of Theatre California State University in San Marcos Department of Visual and Performing Arts "Rudy's work in the theatre gives life to people of all backgrounds but focuses on the descendants of the first colonizers: Mexican Spanish Native American and African. His Mestizo characters shine with that indescribable twinkle every New Mexican enjoys as living inhabitants of the Land of Enchantment. Without fanfare without denying the beauty of other cultures and regions of these United States Rudy give a voice to the rich the poor the landed and the landless with dignity and humor." Jorge A. Huerta Professor Emeritus Theatre and Dance Department University of California San Diego 2012 New Mexico/Arizona Book Awards�Anthology finalist. University of Oklahoma Press, Norman: 2011 paperback
