This world premiere play by a local playwright David Bareford is a loose adaptation of the novel Don Quixote de la Mancha, set in contemporary La Center, Washington at a group home for senior citizens.

The show is under the direction of Alice Tanzillo, with author David Bareford providing creative insight.
