About the Play:

Man of La Mancha is a play-within-a-play, based on Cervantes' Don Quixote that tells the poignant story of a man who discovers his own noble calling in the twilight of his life.  We join his spirited adventures as he faces foes and doubters, beguiling everyone he meets with his unshakeable spirit.
