  • 11.21.17 Man of La Mancha News Release
    NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: November 21, 2017 ARIZONA THEATRE COMPANY REIMAGINES THE BELOVED “MAN OF LA MANCHA” Arizona Theatre Company (David Ivers, Artistic Director; Billy Russo, Managing Director) brings a thrilling reimagined Man of La Mancha to stages in Phoenix and Tucson, taking inspiration from the spontaneous, raw theatricality of flamenco performance and focusing on the passion and virtuosity of the intertwined stories of Don Quixote and his imprisoned creator, Miguel de Cervantes. Man of La Mancha runs from Dec. 2-31 at the Temple of Music & Art in Tucson and from Jan. 5-28 at the Herberger Theater Center in Phoenix. The Tucson Production Sponsors are Jim and Dolly Moran. Joanie Flatt and Michael Flatt are the Phoenix Production Sponsors. I. Michael and Beth Kasser are ATC’s Season Sponsor. “The powerful story and deeply engaging music and songs explode in a new and even more passionate staging that captures the vibrant culture of Spain,” said ATC Artistic Director David Ivers. “Adding another dimension to the gripping passion of the entertainment is the fact that the experience will be great fun.” Man of La Mancha is written by Dale Wasserman, with lyrics by Joe Darion and music by Mitch Leigh, directed for ATC by David Bennett and choreographed by 1 Kathryn Van Meter, who also choreographed ATC’s award-winning production of Fiddler on the Roof. The 1964 musical is a play-within-a-play telling the story of “mad” knight Don Quixote as performed by Cervantes and fellow prisoners as he awaits a hearing with the Spanish Inquisition.
