ZOOT SUIT WORKSHEET
1. Who is the “main character” of Zoot Suit and what is his goal in life?
2. What are the major obstacles facing the main character? [Both the internal obstacles – issues relating to his or her personal character – and external obstacles – real concerns that exist in the real world.]
3. Who are the main character’s allies? Who are his foes?
4. What does the Pachuco Zoot Suit character represent? Would you describe him as real, imaginary or spiritual – or something else? Make a choice and support it with examples.
5. What is Luis Valdez trying to “say” to us in Zoot Suit? What is the play “about?” [What would he want people talking about after they had seen the production?]
