Audiences will follow Miguel Cervantes as he fights to save his novel (and perhaps his life) when he is thrown into a dungeon upon the order of the Spanish Inquisition. Cervantes draws upon the sympathies of his fellow prisoners by reenacting the misadventures and romantic journey of Don Quixote. The inmates become caught up with Cervantes’ contagious imagination, taking part in this charming play-within-a-play.

Directed by Jay Berkow, the all-student cast includes Todd Tuchek, Nick Angel, Brittanie Trevarrow, Chuckie Benson, Joe Cavaiani, Elijah Curry, Sara Geist, Elise Harrigan, Aleksandr Krapivkin, Kasady Kwiatkowska, Deontez Lockett, Emily McKay, Jordan Mosley, Mike Perlongo, Brooke Papritz, Lindsay Powers, Blake Price, Payton Reilly, Joey Simon, Kianee Truvillion and Kendall VanAmburg, with stage management by Afton Earp.

Graduating music theatre performance majors will give free performances following the shows April 10, 11, 16, 17 and 18.
