What happens when the most quintessential gentleman of all ages lives in our modern and unjust society?  Transported from 16th century Spain, two iconic friends navigate the streets of Seattle and the healthcare system. A comedic odd couple, these homeless gentlemen struggle to keep their dignity as “caballeros” while fending for themselves and encountering strange characters. This beautiful new adaptation by Rose Cano features poet, musician and actor José Carrillo as Don Quixote, talented Chicano solo artist Gerald Alejandro Ford as Sancho Panza, and Seattle actors Angela Maestas, Carolynne Wilcox, Fernando Cavallo and Maristela Diaz under the direction of Miracle Theatre Group’s own Olga Sanchez. Recommended for ages 12 and older. Bilingual.

Part of Miracle Theatre Group’s 2012 La Luna Nueva Festival.
