Broadway's Rufus Bonds, Jr. takes over the role of Don Quixote in Man of La Mancha at 5th Avenue Theatre. Bonds was recently seen as Porgy in The Gershwins' Porgy & Bess in London's West End, and was a member of the original Broadway casts of RENT and Parade. This new production is the first of The 5th Avenue Theatre's 2016/17 season and also features Don Darryl Rivera as Sancho and Nova Payton as Aldonza with direction by Allison Narver and choreography by Maria Torres.
Dale Wasserman, Mitch Leigh, and Joe Darion's "Man of La Mancha" is a bona fide classic. It's a sweeping epic filled with power, pathos, romance, and tragedy … when it's done right. The show is by no means bulletproof. I've seen incredible productions and I've seen mediocre productions. And after the current production at the 5th Avenue Theatre now I can say I've seen an atrocious production. Not only does it do no honor to the beauty of the original but it also does no honor to basic tenets of good musical theater. And for a musical theater nerd such as myself, that makes for an offensive evening.

Her latest 'composition' is the release of her full color book, 'Beautiful Faces' which includes beautifully represented photographs of people from around the world, most images paired with inspiring lyrics, Gunn 'originals' from her library.

Ms. Gunn visited every region in the world represented in the book, and photographed each and every beautiful person first hand. In describing her creative process, she indicated in a recent interview that she had a title and concept for the book first and simply let the book project evolve organically, years after the lyrics had been written and once she had a beautiful collection of photographs, encompassing many people representing many cultures and ethnicities from around the world. According to Debe Gunn, a conversation with a friend sparked the beginning stages of the book. This conversation is stated on one of the pages of 'Beautiful Faces.' 'One enchanted moment, Christine, a friend of mine, perusing my photos exclaimed, 'These photos are on the level of National Geographic. You've captured such beautiful faces. Followed by, 'The world should see them!'.' What followed included Ms. Gunn's creative process which includes the beginning stages of her artistic, heartfelt, book composition, 'Beautiful Faces.' This also prompted the series, 'Life, I Love You' with a second book complete and pending worldwide release, and a third in the works, as stated by Debe Gunn in a recent interview. This book has received outstanding reviews by peers and the general public. One, a midwife who recently read her book, conveyed to Ms. Gunn, 'being a midwife, the book's cover alone, drew me in. I've seen hundreds of birth photos,' she stated, 'yet I never saw a newborn captured in such a brilliant and remarkable way.'
