QUIXOTE
Quixote - Story Synopsis
Cervantes Masterpiece Don Quixote De La Mancha gets an extreme makeover.
Set in modern day La Mancha New Mexico the story follows the tale of Alonzo Quijana, in his junior year at La
Mancha high. Alonzo is an outcast who doesn't fit into any of the pre-approved social groups.
A loner who dreams of a better time, when a single man could change the course of tomorrow and Knights
upheld justice, chivalry, and all things good.
But the pressures of High school make Alonzo's mind snap. He sheds his old skin and is reborn as Don
Quixote De La Mancha. Arming himself with a wooden sword, a street sign lance, and his old Schwinn bike,
he sets out to protect the meek and save distressed damsels.
He instantly falls in love with Donna, the girl from the Toboso Coffee shop and dubs her his beloved Dulcinea
del Toboso. With his strange sidekick Sancho Panza at his side, he is now ready to right all the wrongs in the
world.
Quixote is a musical comedy that takes a serious look at teen angst. The pressures to fit in, the fragile line of
popularity, the thin grasp we all have on sanity. Can one lone voice in the crowd make the world a better
place?
