Picasso's Don Quixote

About Our Production

1993:The Man of LaMancha


....Directed by Dominique Gerard

....Produced by Susan Baker

Music by Mitch Lee
Lyrics by Joe Darian
Book by Dale Wasserman

Don Quixote de la Mancha is the story of a poor gentleman of La Mancha, a bare and monotonous plateau of central Spain. He read so many of the exaggerated romances of chivalry of his day that he finally believed them to be true. One day he set forth himself as a knight-errant on his old horse, Rosinante, and headed into the many misadventures that makes this a classic musical.

After the Guild suffered some losses due to the high production costs of Annie Get Your Gun, we found the purse strings to be a bit tight for this production. Although there wasn't much money available, everyone pitched in and put together a show which had a much more serious side than our previous musical. And while this show had its share of production problems, it made everyone realize just what we were capable of doing and that no dream is impossible if we all work together. This idea encompasses the Guild philosophy.
