See "El Quijote" at Miracle Theatre May 7-29

In May, Miracle Theatre Group is pleased to present a new bilingual adaptation of Santiago Garcías EL QUIJOTE, a play based on the novel by Miguel de Cervantes, directed by Olga Sanchez and sponsored by Urban Robotics and the National Endowment for the Arts.

To see the world through the eyes of Don Quijote is to embrace life as the fullest adventure. From windmills to wenches, this knight-errant, in the company of his humble squire Sancho Panza, continues to roam the world and haunt our imagination as he has for some four hundred years. And this lusty adaptation of Cervantes’ classic — filled with a muscular theatricality — proves the power of imagination to overcome the vagaries of life.

EL QUIJOTE plays May 7-29, 2010 at the Milagro Theatre (525 SE Stark St., Portland). Performances are Thursdays at 7:30 p.m.; Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 p.m.; and Sundays at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are $20-$22 ($16 for students/seniors) from 503-236-7253 or www.milagro.org. There is one preview performance at 7:30 p.m., Thursday May 6, 2010 for which all tickets are only $14. The complimentary opening night reception on May 7 is catered by The Maiden restaurant. For more information, visit www.milagro.org.

In conjunction with EL QUIJOTE, Miracle Theatre Group is pleased to present a series of panel discussions, “Dialogues with Don Quijote: A Method to his Madness?” sponsored by Oregon Humanities. These forums, which will be held in English, will be held at 7:30 p.m. Wednesdays, May 12, 19 and 26 at the Milagro Theatre (525 SE Stark St., Portland). No advance reservations are necessary for the panel discussions, which are free and open to the public. For a flier with complete descriptions, contact [email protected].
