Man of La Mancha
July 26 – August 18, 2012
Also known as “The Impossible Dream musical”, Man of La Mancha lit up the New York stage for the first time in 1965 winning the Tony Award for Best Musical and lasting for an incredible 2,328 performances. It tells the story of the “mad” knight, Don Quixote, as a play within a play, performed by the playwright Cervantes and his fellow prisoners as he awaits a hearing with the Spanish Inquisition.

The Merry Wives of Windsor
August 9 – 26, 2012
Queen Elizabeth so enjoyed the character of the vainglorious knight Sir John Falstaff, that she commissioned Shakespeare to write a play allowing him to pursue his love of the fairer sex. This bawdy, comic romp has the unique distinction of being the only one of the Bard’s plays to deal with the contemporary Elizabethan middle class life and times for which he wrote.
