Scabs, with limited knowledge of Spanish, replace talent, directors, producer and the writer, in a live, Latino soap. The talent used to date. They now despise each other and didn’t see each other until minutes before the live soap. Two stylists battle while the director and producer feud. The comedy is one of lost love, lost translation and elusive fame. The play was originally written as a ten-minute play, a finalist at the Humana Short Play Contest and accepted at the Last Frontier Theatre Festival (had to withdraw because I had to teach in Spain that summer). I later developed a twenty-minute screenplay version and then a forty-minute, short screenplay version. The enclosed screenplay is now being re-written as a full-length play.
