Speech disorder notes in the library. She is currently in the master's
program of Speech-Language Pathology at the University of Iowa. She is
interested in singing songs in different languages, including French,
Italian, Korean, Chinese, and Turkish. Also, even though English is not

Southern accent of English. 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

also a founding member and the Production Director of Fourth Room
Theatre. He is honored to perform with this fine cast. Kehry would like to
thank Brett, Jaret, Jessica, his family and friends (especially his wife,
Rachel) for their unending love and support.
Heather Michele Lawler (Aldonza) is excited to be back at the ICCT barn
for the first time since 2001 (Lily St. Regis-Annie). Heather has performed
everywhere from New York City, Chicago, Riverside Theatre (most
recently as Louise in Marion Bridge) and in far away Perth, Australia (April
in Company). This summer you can catch Heather as Bianca in Othello
with Riverside Theatre in the Park. In the Fall she will be pursuing her
MFA in Acting in the prestigious training program at Indiana University.
"Thank you to my amazing family and friends for their incredible support
and love! Dream and live your impossible dreams everyday!"

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.

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.

helped her survive music directing her first show!

area, both onstage and off.
MEET THE CAST AND CREW
Glen Schmitz (Captain of the Inquisition/Paco) is once again thrilled to be
working with Iowa City Community Theatre. Glen has appeared in several
recent productions as the nice guy, this time he is not nice at all. Much
thanks to Brett, Jaret and Jessica for this opportunity. And special thanks
to his wonderful spouse and family for their unending love and support.
Scott K. Strode (Barber) retired after 34 years at Manchester University,

Wheel Theatre. Iowa City acting credits include roles with Dreamwell

Audrey Thompson-Wallace (Horse/Gypsy/Prisoner) is happy to be on
the stage again. The daughter of actress Kathlyn Carroll and ballet master
Basil Thompson, Audrey's performance talents range from ballet to
various circus acts including (but not limited to) fire breathing. She is a
graduate from the University of Iowa with a BA in Theatre and a BA in
Psychology. Since then, she has become an in-studio producer at KXIC
radio and has acted, directed, and stage managed. 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.

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!

your help! Your contribution is tax-deductible (minus the value of
tickets) and helps to keep our ticket prices low to improve accessibility
to the general community. In this way, we can help people come
together to celebrate the excitement of live theatre.
You may send a check or money order payable to Iowa City
Community Theatre, or donate with your credit card number on our
website.

MEMBERSHIP
You can become a member of the ICCT family for a fee of $10/yr.,
which gives you voting rights at our meetings, newsletters and other
mailings, and advance information about shows and events related to
the ICCT.
SPONSORSHIP
We can help your business get broader exposure in Iowa City and
Johnson County. This is usually done by advertising in our playbills,
but can also be by sponsorship of shows, elements of shows, or
specific actors.

We are always in need of new and interested individuals for help at the
community theatre in a number of different capacities: acting, directing,
back stage, and at the front of the house.
