She thanks Jaret and Brett for giving her an opportunity to return to musical theatre, and to her fellow cast members for just being awesome. Also she gives her dearest gratitude to her family, friends and her Lord God. Daniel Kunce (Pedro) It's unclear when Daniel first caught the acting bug, but it wasn't diagnosed until after High School. In his hometown of Burlington, IA, he feverishly consumed many roles, large and small including The Prince in Cinderella and Danny Zuko in Grease. Since moving to Iowa City to attend the University, Daniel's focus shifted to the most difficult acting challenge of his life: a for-serious-adult. As a result he married the best woman ever and now has a super cool baby girl. He returns to the theater now to confront the mad knight that challenged his heart to dream. Nick LaFayette (Juan) This is Nick's first time performing with Iowa City Community Theatre. He would like to thank his family, friends, and pets for being so supportive. Nick enjoys reading, playing games, cooking and going to concerts and music festivals. This summer he plans to spend a lot of time at the dog park and the disc golf courses. Kehry Anson Lane (Cervantes/Don Quixote) holds a BA in Theatre Arts from the University of Iowa. Over the past decade, he has worked as an actor and director for many local theatre groups. He was last seen on the ICCT stage as El Gallo in The Fantasticks (September 2012). Kehry is also a founding member and the Production Director of Fourth Room Theatre.

This summer you can catch Heather as Bianca in Othello with Riverside Theatre in the Park.

Jaret has been privileged to work as a Director and Actor locally/ across Iowa for over 25 years. His previous directing credits include Tale of the Allergist's Wife (City Circle), Noises Off (CC Stoplight) and Desert Pepper (UI). He is delighted and honored to have directed this fine cast and expresses a special thanks to Brett for this "crazy idea" of co-directing, his "steadfast rock," Leah and their boys, Toby and Milo, for being "everything that matters." Jacques Motyko (Jose) is looking forward to seeing what the dark prisons of the Spanish Inquisition have in store for him. His previous roles this year include a Nazi, a Jesus killer, and now a seedy criminal. One of these days he would love to do a light romantic comedy. Larry Newman (Sancho Panza) was last seen in ICCT's production of The Fantasticks. Other local productions include Jesus Christ Superstar, Urinetown and Guys and Dolls. In his much younger days he made a living by performing in regional and professional musical theater productions around the country and is a graduate of the Los Angeles American Center of Musical Theater Workshop. Colin Nies (Dr. Carrasco/ The Duke) is pleased to be appearing on stage for the first time in almost 2 years. He was last seen as Sky Masterson in Guys and Dolls (City Circle) and as Phil Davis in White Christmas (ICCT). He has recently taken some time off from theatre to focus on his wonderful family and is proud to be the father of a beautiful daughter Freya. He would like to thank his wife for helping put her to bed each night and for her encouragement and support during this show. Jessica Palmer (Music Director) attended the University of Iowa and received a BA in Music from the University of Iowa. Jessica has worked as a trumpet player in the Iowa City area for several years, most recently heard in Spamalot (City Circle) and Oklahoma (ICCT).This is Jessica's first production on the other side of the baton. She is so excited to work with such an incredible cast and crew, musicians, and directors Brett and Jaret.

MEET THE CAST AND CREW Glen Schmitz (Captain of the Inquisition/Paco) is once again thrilled to be working with Iowa City Community Theatre.

Her most recent onstage roles include The Ghost of Christmas Past in City Circle's A Christmas Carol and Friar Lawrence in ICCT's Romeo & Juliet. Taylor Wyatt (Gypsy Girl/Prisoner) is currently a third-year Anthropology student at the University of Iowa. She is thrilled to participate in her first musical in the state of Iowa. Her previous performances in Los Angeles include Isabelle in Rabbit Hole and Zaneeta Shinn in The Music Man. She expresses her gratitude and appreciation of this wonderful cast and crew, and looks forward to continuing theatre with this community. The Production team would like to offer a very special Thank You to Steve Hall. Steve's role in this production is certainly the least flashy, most discreet, and most thankless in the entire production. As the Board Representative for "Man of La Mancha," Steve coordinated auditions, acted as middle man for communication with committees and board members, spent countless hours assisting with set building/light design, and acted as advisor, cheerleader and voice of reason. And that is not even everything. Many people dedicated hours to make this show what it is, but Steve deserves far, far more credit than he gets. From all of us Steve, Thank You so much; "La Mancha" would not have been the same without you. DIRECTORS’ NOTES My relationship with Man of La Mancha began pretty early with two specific memories. My very first exposure to the musical classic was in an episode of my favorite TV Show ever, "Quantum Leap," where in Scott Bakula's character is thrust into the role of Cervantes/Don Quixote without any knowledge of his lines or the play. The music and the characters of the play fascinated me...rather than purchasing the soundtrack to the play however, I listened to the Quantum Leap soundtrack over and over. Prior to this production, when I thought of this music, I heard Bakula's voice. The second memory is that, due to my newly found love, I begged my folks to take me to the local community theater's production of La Mancha and it would be the first time I ever heard the full music or learned the actual story of the play (and the play within the play). It also marks the very first time I was emotionally affected by a theatrical performance; the eleven year old in the front row crying his eyes out. It’s this moment that would lead me down a long path of acting in high school, the AADA in New York, and to the U of I, where I would not only earn my Theater degree, but also find my true love, Directing. I'll leave the rest for you to fill in the gaps, but when Brett Borden asked me to co-direct Man of La Mancha, it just seemed like it was meant to be; my theatrical journey had come full circle. This influenced my personal vision greatly. It was very important to me that we show this story for what it is: a play within a play. The themes of this musical are vast and powerful, but few are as prominent as hope, decency, love, and art. Yes, art. Cervantes is an artist and he uses it not only to create but to argue, to defend, to live. He uses it to inspire, to involve, to change. He gives hope and empathy and love to the apathetic and loveless. In the very depths of despair, he teaches them hope...through art...through a play. To take away the play and simply split the story into prison/fantasy would have been an injustice to the show and to its very theatricality. Through this production, Brett and I strive to honor the story, the characters, and most importantly, the play within the play. It is with sincerest gratitude that we thank you for coming and we hope you enjoy Man of La Mancha. —JARET MORLAN DIRECTORS’ NOTES I first came to Man of La Mancha in college when I saw a production at the University of Nebraska Omaha. I was so inspired by the plight of Cervantes and his ability to inspire the prisoners to action through his simple play. Through his story we learn not only about what it means to never give up on our hopes and "impossible dreams" that we all share and to strive towards something better. I knew that eventually one day I wanted to do this show but had no idea that the proposition would come so soon - this show is an impossible dream for me and I want to thank anyone and everyone who has been a part of it. To Jaret, who I first brought this crazy idea to and who immediately said yes without blinking. Your ability to translate your passion to the cast inspires me every day and I can't imagine doing this with anyone else. Through our shared vision we have created something special and I feel honored to have been a part of it. To the audience: Be Cervantes...the dreamer...strive toward your goals and never give up hope, no matter the odds. Enjoy the show! —BRETT BORDEN BEST OF THE AREA 2013!!!!
