PLOT SUMMARY: Gilbert and Sullivan's "Patience" is our first Summerstage show of the 2008 season.. A group of village maidens are madly in love with Reginald Bunthorne, an aesthetic poet, but he only has eyes for the village milkmaid, Patience. Further complicating matters is the fact that, the year before, these maidens had expressed their love for the officers of a regiment of Dragoon Guards who are now jealous of Reginald! Then, Archibald Grosvenor, an idyllic poet, enters the scene and turns everything topsy-turvy!

MAN OF LA MANCHA

Produced by Teale LaBarbera
Directed by Peter Loftus
Music Director: Chris Widomski

July 16-19, 2008 @ 7:30pm

Adults $16, seniors $15, Capitol members $14, students $12.

PLOT SUMMARY: Man of La Mancha is a remarkable show and one of the great theatre successes of our time -- as well as the second show in our 2008 Summerstage series. This play-within-a-play, based on Cervantes' "Don Quixote," is the poignant story of a dying old man whose impossible dream takes over his mind. It's All the Same, Dulcinea, I'm Only Thinking of Him, The Impossible Dream, I Really Like Him and Little Bird remain in your thoughts and in your soul well after you see the show. His dream is Everyman's dream; his tilting at windmills is Everyman's great adventure. Somehow, the footlights disappear, time is telescoped and the "Man of La Mancha" speaks for humankind.

CAST: Alex Newby (Anselmo), Andy Frank (guitar player), Brett Roden (knight), Catherine Gudaitis (muleteer), Cecilia Widomski (Fermia), Chris Van Patten (Jose), Fred Frantz (captain), Heather Perkins (housekeeper), Jake Meiss (Pedro), John Muratore (Moor), Jordan Jones (padre), Karey Weimer (Moorish girl), Nelson Olney (Tenorio), Patrick Anderson (Paco), Peter Loftus (Sancho), Ryan Schmidt (knight), Tim Huey (knight), Zach Wade (knight), G. Roberts Kolb (Don Quixote), Linda Potts (Antonia), Lisa Jones (Aldonza), Peter Costianes (innkeeper), Raymond Tucker, Jr. (Juan), Roger Thompson (barber), Barb Revenaugh (innkeeper’s wife), Jim Revenaugh (Duke/doctor/mirror knight)
