HCTO to Present MAN OF LA MANCHA, 6/26-8/9

Thrown into prison to answer to the Spanish Inquisition on trumped-up charges, Miguel Cervantes finds himself surrounded by criminals and outcasts. To plead his innocence, he enlists his cellmates to help him reenact the legend of Don Quixote, the greatest knight of all. This powerful parable has inspired generations to find the nobility in every soul and "To Dream the Impossible Dream".

The original 1965 Broadway production ran for 2,328 performances and won five Tony Awards, including Best Musical. The musical has been revived four times on Broadway, becoming one of the most enduring works of musical theater.

Dave Tinney is the director/choreographer. Joining Mr. Tinney on the production team are Rob Moffat as music director and assistant director, Bobby Swenson (scenic design), MaryAnn Hill (costumes), Janna Larsen (hair & make-up), Cody Swenson (lighting) and Cody Hale (sound).
