Full casting has been announced for the White Plains Performing Arts Center’s production of Man of La Mancha, to run November 29-December 16.
The musical, based on Miguel de Cervantes’ classic tale, uses the theatrical conceit of a play within a play to tell the story of an idealistic Knight Errant and his noble quest to right the world’s wrongs. It features a book by Dale Wasserman, music by Mitch Leigh, and lyrics by Joe Darion. The production will be directed by Luke Yankee with choreography by Devanand Janki, scenery by Michael Hotopp, costumes by Carrie Robbins, and lighting by Thom Weaver.
In addition to previously announced star Robert Cuccioli as Don Quixote, the cast will feature Rosena M. Hill (Aldonza), Carlos Lopez (Sancho Panza), Robert Ousley (Inkeeper/Governour), Sidney J. Burgoyne (Padre), Richard Todd Adams (Dr. Carrasco), Patricia Noonan (Antonio), Deborah Jean Templin (Housekeeper), David Villella (Barber), Tony Falcon (Pedro), and Derek Hanson (Anselmo).
