Pastorelas, which roughly means "shepherds' plays," are theatrical works done by both amateur and professional groups during the Christmas season.
The script of the plays is often improvised by the actors and varies immensely and can include elements such as jokes, jeers, slang, songs, bawdy humor, discussions, cigarettes, tequila and even ladies of the evening, mostly focusing on the interaction with and struggle against Satan and his tricks [REF].
