Synopsis: Diego is a sweet 9-year-old boy who just so happens to be
a zombie! After escaping from his bedroom in search of sesos, he
finds himself at a south Tucson playground, the only guest to little
Flor's birthday party. 12-year-old Flor is as much as an outcast as
her newly acquired "friend." The ability to look past their
differences earns each of them a new companion and a life lesson on
friendship. 

Characters:
- DIEGO - (Latino, 8 to 11 years old): A sweet little "Zombito"
yearning for friendship and brains! Must be fluent in both English
and Spanish.
- FLOR - (Latina, 12-14 years old): Birthday girl, an outcast in her
own right with her oversized glasses and messy hair. She is, of
course underneath her awkward exterior, a girl at heart, wanting
friendship and attention. MUST speak Spanish and English fluently.
- MAMI - (Latina, Late 20's - Late 30's): Diego's single/working mom
who has unconditional love for her little zombie.
- AMANDA - (Any Type, 10 to 14 years old) The "popular" girl who has
an encounter with Diego after making fun of his new friend. English
speaking part.
- GIRLS - (Ages 10-14) Friends of Amanda, English speaking parts.
- PARTY GUESTS - (All Types, pref. Latino/a, Adults Ages 30-40): The
adult guests of Flor's birthday, as no other kids have shown up.
