Man of La Mancha | Main Company Production

A Magnificent Musical by Wasserman, Darion & Leigh

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 | Main Company Production

A Corpulent Comedy by William Shakespeare

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.

Jacob Two Two Meets the Hooded Fang | Young Company Production

By Mordecai Richler

A Doubly Delightful Musical Adaptation of Mordecai Richler’s Family Classic Book

Music by Philip Balsam, additional music & lyrics by Jim Betts

Jacob Two-Two has to say everything twice to be heard simply because he’s the youngest of five children. His quest to be taken seriously takes him into a fantastic world of larger than life characters including Master Fish, Mistress Fowl, and (gulp!)… The Hooded Fang!
