Jorge Huerta has brought together an array of brilliant thoughts to produce six short plays that all encompass a protagonist and their persevering quest for survival. Necessary Theater: Six plays about the Chicano experience is an anthology of well written plays that are developed in a wide range of venue, styles, and time periods. This paperback book, published by Players Press in 1989, features 368 pages of the Chicano Experience. ... He explains the history behind Chicano Theater and each of the 6 plays and their writers. Huerta in the introduction states that “all theater should be necessary: otherwise, why bother to produce it? ... Necessary Theater seems to be produced for bilingual audiences. Out of the six plays, Soldierboy seemed to be written completely in English. ...
Soldierboy’s characters are “based on real life rather that stereotyped images of what the Chicano and Mexican are supposed to be. ... This Chicano soldier has made his way back to his home in San Antonio without his friend whom he fought with in Europe. ... Soldierboy shows the transition and adaptation soldiers had to experience when returning home from war.
