In this delicious new comedy from the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright of August Osage County, an offbeat friendship grows between a cantankerous white shop owner and an ambitious black teenager with something to hide. As the two men bond over literature and entrepreneurship, they discover that family runs deeper than blood.

MAN OF LA MANCHAby Dale Wasserman – Lyrics by Joe Darion Music by Mitch Leigh

December 7, December 13 and December 15 at 10:30 amRecommended for grades 8 -12

Thrown into prison on trumped-up charges, Miguel Cervantes and his sidekick, Sancho Panza find themselves among a throng of debtors, thieves and worse. What better way to prepare your defense and plead your innocence than by enlisting the inmates to re-enact the magical tale of the greatest knight of all, Don Quixote – slayer of dragons, windmills and defender of ladies in distress. The story reminds us all to never give up – that miracles happen – and we can reach the stars.
