Spearman High School English I students in Mr. Filiberto Avila’s class recently traveled to West Texas A&M University for a unique academic experience connected directly to their classroom learning. In class, students read “The Tragic Corrido of Romeo and Lupe,” a bilingual adaptation of Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” written by playwright Seres Jaime Magaña. The visit allowed students to see how literature moves from the page to the stage. Students began the afternoon with a campus tour of West Texas A&M University, where they were welcomed by Dr. Rick Haasl, Vice Provost for Enrollment Management. The group then received a private tour of the Sybil B. Harrington College of Fine Arts and Humanities, hosted by Dr. Emily Kinsky, Interim Department Head of English, Philosophy, and Modern Languages and Professor of Communication. During the visit, students learned about the many programs offered within the college. As part of the experience organized by Dr. Matthew Harrison, Associate Professor of Shakespeare, students participated in a hands-on demonstration with an original printing press led by Dr. Sarah Sprouse, Assistant Professor of English. Students were able to experiment with the press and print their own corrido inspired by the play they studied in class. One of the highlights of the visit was the opportunity to meet the playwright, Seres Jaime Magaña, ask questions about his work, and have their printed corridos signed by him. This moment was especially meaningful for Mr. Avila, who translated Magaña’s play during his time at West Texas A&M University—a translation that continues to be taught in courses at WT. To conclude the evening, students attended a staged reading of The Tragic Corrido of Romeo and Lupe performed by students in the WT Theatre Program and were invited to meet the cast following the performance as special guests of the university. Spearman High School also extends a special thank you to Mrs. Stephania Hernandez-Martinez for helping chaperone and support students throughout the trip. Experiences like these help connect classroom learning with the arts, higher education, and real-world scholarship. 🎭📚”
