SUMMARY:Quannapowitt Players Present “Don Quixote De La Center”
DESCRIPTION:Quannapowitt Players Presents David Barefords’ “Don Quixote De La Center” March 21st – April 5th!\nIt’s Halloween at a group home for senior citizens in the rural town of La Center\, Washington. Donald Quintero\, an aging resident with dementia\, is dressed in an improvised suit of armor for a Halloween party. He embodies a knight from the olden days\, seeing the world around him as a land of castles\, giants\, fair ladies\, and evil sorcerers. Initially\, his behavior is harmless and even therapeutic for the other residents\, and the staff goes along with Don’s fantasy\, much to the concern of his practical-minded son\, Sam. However\, Don’s delusions of knightly valor start causing unintentional harm\, such as engaging in wheelchair jousts against imaginary giants and battling non-existent foes. This leaves us pondering whether the remaining fragments of Donald Quintero’s identity are genuinely better than the fantasy of Don Quixote. \nContent warnings: the play has references to dementia and loss. \nDirected by Eric Roberts\, and featuring Shawn Maguire\, Jon Nuquist\, Becky Ruccio\, Linda Burtt\, Phyllis Uloth\, Victor Brandalise\, Tofer Carlson\, Allison Rollings\, Ken Tucci\, and Samantha Moon\, “Don Quixote De La Center” will open March 21st and run through April 5th. \nSingle tickets are $25\, $23 for Seniors/Students\, and can be purchased online at qptheater.com/box-office/. Or for reservations call the QP Box Office at (781) 942-2212. Checks and cash are accepted at performances\, as well as Credit Cards for a small fee. Friday and Saturday performances are at 8PM. Sunday performances are at 2PM.
