NSUAugust 24th, 2017 : Auditions 4:00 - 7:00pmAugust 25th, 2017 : Call Backs 5:00 - 7:00pmBlack Box TheatreEmail Bill Adams, wadams@nova.edu, for any questionsBased on The Adventures of Don Quixote, by Miguel the Cervantes y Saavedra, Man of La Mancha is a comic tragedy of mankind’s struggle to better both himself and the world in which he lives. When Cervantes started writing he intended a satirical burlesque of the then fashionable novels of chivalry; gradually the author’s sympathies changed, and the novel developed into a deeper, broader and more compassionate account of the adventures of an eccentric idealist in a hostile, greedy and cynical world, which leads the reader to the conclusion that if Don Quixote is a fool it is because the world does not live up to his ideals. This feeling is perfectly reflected in this beautiful musical version of the story.DANCEWORKSAugust 26th, 2017Auditions 1:00 - 3:00pmPerformance TheatreEmail Elana Lanczi, lanczi@nova.edu, for audition criteriaAn annual celebration of exciting dance and movement, featuring original choreography by faculty, professional guest artists, and even our own dance majors!
