Innkeeper - Mason Ames
Pedro - Caleb Paxton
Dr. Carrasco - Derek Krueger

The kindly Innkeeper graciously offers Don Quixote and his squire refuge, much to the chagrin of his wife. Pedro, the vicious leader of the Muleteers, is hell-bent on antagonizing Quixote's lady and incites violent combat for his mistreatment of her. Dr. Carrasco is engaged to Quixote's niece Antonia; at her behest, he makes Quixote face the reality of his true identity to overcome his madness.

Meet the Cast: Barber, Captain of the Inquisition, Meet the Cast: Barber, Captain of the Inquisition, and Maria

Continuing our Meet the Cast series for Man of La Mancha!

Meet Logan Comstock as the Barber, Jack Agugliaro as the Captain of the Inquisition, and Kristina Tomasello as Maria.

Don Quixote sings the glory of the barber's shaving basin, claiming it is the "Golden Helmet of Mambrino," which will make him bold and brave. Maria is the not-so-kind Innkeeper's wife; she tries and fails to keep Quixote out of the Inn. The barber and Maria are prisoners, performing in Cervantes' play within the play. As prisoners, their greatest fear is the Captain of the Spanish Inquisition.

More cast announcements coming over the next few weeks!
