Quixote Nuevo

By Octavio Solis
Directed by Lisa Portes
July 9 – October 24, 2025 Thomas Theatre

A classic epic comes alive with a modern comic twist

In the fictional border town of La Plancha, Texas, a brilliant professor is battling dementia—but he won’t go into assisted living without a fight. Imagining himself as Don Quixote, he enlists a friend and sets out on a journey to find his long-lost love, tilting at border patrol drones as he uncovers the truth of his past. This modern comic adaptation by OSF favorite Octavio Solis (Mother Road and 2009’s Don Quixote, among others) infuses Tejano culture and vibrant music into a story that Broadway World described as “groundbreaking and new while still retaining the heart of the original”—a magical retelling that celebrates life, love, and human courage.

Suitability Suggestions
An adaptation of Cervantes’s epic Don Quixote set in the Texas borderlands, this play is suitable for most audiences. Mild profanity, often in Spanish, occurs at times. Due to complex adult themes, including references to death and a character’s experience with dementia, this play is recommended for well-prepared middle school students and older.
