Now at La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club, *Don Quixote Takes New York* reframes Cervantes’ wandering knight as a child-friendly New York tale, using the city as both setting and argument. The piece follows an earnest dreamer moving through contemporary streets, reading everyday encounters as quests and tests of character. At a downtown venue with a long history of introducing new work to the city, the show treats imagination as a civic skill, not an escape. Its best moments let kids recognize how stories shape what adults call “real.”
