About the Work:
Man of La Mancha, with book by Dale Wasserman, music by Mitch Leigh, and lyrics by Joe Darion, is inspired by Miguel de Cervantes’s Don Quixote.

The musical unfolds in a prison, where Cervantes and his fellow inmates perform the story of an aging dreamer who becomes the knight Don Quixote. Guided by imagination and a belief in human dignity, he challenges a cynical world and pursues “The Impossible Dream.”

The work explores hope, courage, idealism, and the tension between the world as it is and the world as it might become.

Tea Alagić directed the production.
