[#DEAFBAY COMMUNITY REPOST]
Teatro Visión invites you to an ASL-interpreted performance of their youth production of Don Quixote, Sunday, April 2 @ 2:00 PM at the Mexican Heritage Plaza in San Jose.
Experience the ingenious exploits of Don Quixote firsthand! Brought to life by a talented ensemble of youth actors from across San José, Don Quixote and his squire Sancho Panza traverse the plains of La Mancha in search of daring adventures. They confront enchanted windmills, take down armies of sheep, escape angry innkeepers, and fight dreadful monsters—that just happen to be invisible to everyone else.
The growing friendship between Sancho and Don Quixote teaches them to be resilient in the fight for their dreams, no matter how many times they get knocked off their trusty steeds.
Don Quixote is presented in English with supertitles in English and Spanish.
General Admission. Fun for the whole family.
WHEN: Sunday, April 2, 2023 @ 2:00pm.
WHERE: Mexican Heritage Plaza. 1700 Alum Rock Ave., San Jose, CA 95116.
