Good lord, another Christmas show. Who does a Christmas show in November? I mean, really! At least wait until AFTER Thanksgiving! Yeah, I get it, there are tons of cute kids, and holiday cheer and whatnot, but still!

Do you know someone who feels like this? Can’t seem to get them into the Christmas spirit until about December 23rd?

Reviews November 8, 2015 Tommy Malek

Come errant knights and ladies! For it is time to sally forth toward the windmill—er, castle—and into the grand and touching tale of Don Quixote de La Mancha!
