Ron Campbell Stars in DON QUIXOTE, Beginning Tonight at Marin Shakespeare

Marin Shakespeare Company, Marin County's professional, awarding-winning outdoor summer Shakespeare festival, continues its 2015 season with the United States premiere of a new adaptation of "Don Quixote," by Peter Anderson and Colin Heath.

In his first appearance with Marin Shakespeare Company, award-winning actor Ron Campbell stars as Miguel de Cervantes' iconic dreamer. Campbell, who toured as "The King of the Clowns" in Cirque du Soleil's "Kooza," is also known for his solo work in "R. Buckminster Fuller" and "The Thousandth Night."

Directed by Lesley Schisgall Currier and co-starring John R. Lewis as Sancho Panza, with a cast of five actors playing a variety of roles, this re-imagined, madcap version of "Don Quixote" will be delightfully funny, touching and inspiring for all ages.

Also featuring Cassidy Brown, Rick Eldridge, Lee Fitzpatrick, Monica Ho and Jed Parsario.

Marin Shakespeare Company 2015 summer festival will feature a non-repertory schedule, with designated performance runs for each production. Performances are presented outdoors at Forest Meadows Amphitheatre, located on the campus of Dominican University of California in San Rafael, Calif. The amphitheater opens one hour prior to show time for picnicking. Audiences are encouraged to bring picnics or purchase snacks at the Theatre Cafe. Warm clothing, jackets and blankets are recommended for evening performances. Parking is free.

Marin Shakespeare Company also offers those 65 and over half-price tickets at Senior Matinees and those ages 18 and under are admitted free at Family Matinee performances.
