GRAND BEND — The
summer theatre season at
the Huron Country
Playhouse ends on a high
note with the epic
Broadway musical, 'Man
of La Mancha.'
This cherished tale
delights audiences with its
enchanting melodies and
grand theatrical transfor-
mations.
At the end of the 16th
century, in a bleak dun-
geon, imprisoned play-
wright Miguel de
Cervantes is awaiting trial
by the dreaded Spanish
Inquisition, but first he
must face a court of fellow
prisoners anxious to
relieve him of his few pos-
sessions — including a
precious unfinished manu-
script.
In order to save himself,
Cervantes stages the saga
of Don Quixote, casting
himself as the deluded
knight errant, and
embarks on a magical
adventure to defend the
noble principles of honour
and truth.
The production is direct-
ed and choreographed by
Ted Forlow, who has 15
Broadway shows to his
credit.
The outstanding 21 -
member cast is led by
David Ludwig in the multi-
ple roles of Cervantes, Don
Quixote and Alonso
Quijana. Ludwig strikes a
careful balance between
dignity and humour, while
his soaring voice brings
authority and heroism to
the fragile protagonist.
His faithful companion,
Three break-ins
HURON — South Huron, Bluewater and
Central Huron recently experienced
break-ins.
Two break-ins were found Aug. 20,
while a third happened Aug. 23.
The first break-in was reported early
on the morning of Aug. 20 in Central
Huron when a shed/workshop was found
to have been entered sometime
overnight. The owner had forgotten to
lock the building allowing someone to
enter and walk away with $7,800 worth
of property during the night. The resi-
dence, located on Huron Road in Central
Huron, had a 2003 Polaris Trail Boss
four wheel ATV, Stihl chainsaw and a
Campbell-Hausfield 20 gallon air com-
pressor stolen.
The second report was received from a
King Street residence in Hensall. Again,
the owner had left the garage unlocked
allowing someone to
enter. Sometime in the last week while
the owner was away a person entered
the garage and stole a 2003 22" Yard
Works push lawnmower, a 1999 Poulin
20" bar chainsaw, a 2003 Featherlight
weed eater and 2003 Featherlight leaf
blower. The theft is valued at over
$2,000.
The third break-in occurred Monday at
2:15 a.m. at BB's Fuel Gas Station on
Road #164 in Woodham. The window of
the gas station was forced open setting
off an alarm.
The culprit was scared away but not
before a citizen spotted a black pickup
truck fleeing the scene. Nothing was
stolen in this attempt.
Huron OPP are investigating all three
reports. If you can help solve these
crimes call the Huron OPP or contact
Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477(TIPS).

Sancho Panza, is played
effectively by Eddie Glen,
blending comedy with sen-
timentality as his charac-
ter follows his hero
through their many
adventures.
Rebecca Poff, plays
Aldonza, the object of
Ludwig's affections. She
gives a passionate perfor-
mance, overwhelming the
audience as she is trans-
formed from the serving
girl to Lady Dulcinea.
Curtis Sullivan is a men-
acing dark presence in the
dual role of Cervantes'
prison adversary the Duke
and Quixote's nemesis Dr.
Carrasco.
As Antonia, Lisa Kisch
displays a beautiful voice
and Phil Cook is similarly
in the role of the Padre.
The exceptional 10 -piece
orchestra is led by John
Karr and provides a full,
rich sound.
From the stirring title
tune to the bitter and bit-
ing `Aldonza,' the music
has the power to excite
and the lyrics have an
edge that cuts to the heart.
There is also a comic
touch in `Golden Helmet of
Mambrino,' witty satire in
`I'm Only Thinking of
Him,' beguiling romance
in `Dulcinea' and the pow-
erful anthem 'The
Impossible Dream.'
With its timeless mes-
sage of courage and ideal-
ism in the face of despair,
'Man of La Mancha' is one
of the greatest treasures in
musical theatre. It's an
inspiring tale of epic pro-
portions that encourages
all of us to keep reaching
for the stars.
'Man of La Mancha' runs
at the Huron Country
Playhouse until Sept. 4.
