The production is a full staging of the musical "Man of La Mancha" using life-size bunraku-like puppets to represent all the characters in Quixote's fantasy world. We did a bare bones workshop of it in June and it went well giving us plenty to work on for the full production in March.
I would be grateful if you'd pass this information on to your guild members! I have pictures available for use in newsletters if you'd like.
Thanks very much!
