"This great classic of American musical theatre by Wasserman, Leigh, and Darion is a favorite for all the right reasons. Directed by Randy Wonzong, Department of Theatre Arts, Man of La Mancha is a heart-warming story with memorable characters and music. The characters, all based on Cervantes' novel, Don Quixote, are wonderfully brought to life in a story that has comedy, drama, and--best of all--genuine and touching emotion. For those who long for a musical theatre experience filled with laughter, tears, character, and song, Man of La Mancha is your show. This musical 'adds a measure of grace to the world.'" [from: http://www.csuchico.edu/hfa/chicoarts/manoflamancha.html]

Directed by Randy L. Wonzong. Musical Direction by Kyle Wiley Pickett. Presented by the Department of Theatre Arts & Music.

A Last Program Note...

Thirty years ago this month I walked into Laxson Auditorium for the first time, during my interview for the job from which I am now retiring. It has been a great three decades, and in that time I have been able to work with a lot of talented people in directing a very wide range of comedies, dramas, and musicals. At one point in Man of La Mancha, Quixote is asked why he does what he does. His answer is one I could use to explain what I hoped for in much of my own theatre work here: "To add some measure of grace to the world." I would need ten programs worth of space to thank all the staff, students, and colleagues who worked with me through the years and who helped make what has been for me a very rewarding career. But I do need to thank the one person who has sat next to me for every one of the sixty-five productions I have done in Chico, my own Dulcinea, my wife Jan. Thirty years is a pretty good run, and now I promise to do what I always tell my actors to do: "Take your bows and get off the stage." -- Randy Wonzong..
