Specific Responsibilities
Oversaw the production schedule and budget while serving as the primary liaison between the student theatre board and the creative team. Stepped in to assist with technical elements, including lighting and scenic support, ensuring the production stayed on track and fully staffed.
Don Quixote and Sancho Panza are guided by their creator, Miguel de Cervantes, in person. In this "buddies on the road" saga, the intrepid Don Quixote and his loyal squire, Sancho Panza, are spurred on by Cervantes to battle giants—or are they windmills? Rescue princesses—or are they swineherds? Their world, the vital, dangerous La Mancha region of 17th-century Spain, is peopled with fools and shysters, nobles and priests, merchants and actors. Idealistic Don Quixote and pragmatic Sancho Panza learn to deal with the unexpected and the inexplicable as they travel and quarrel through the arid plains of La Mancha. Their friendship deepens as their adventures grow more challenging and complex.
