The Impossible Dream
musical!
This multi-award winning masterpiece paved
the way for
Les Miserables
and other shows,
stretching them frommusicals to deeply mov-
ing stories based on classical literature. We will enter the
mind and world of Don Quixote as he begins his quest for
the impossible dream. His good deeds and innocence are in
sharp contrast to a world filled with darkness and despair.
This fun-loving musical is the triumph of a man over his fol-
lies. Dinner will be a real treat at the Urban in the Westin
Hotel at the Domain. We will begin with their Caesar Salad
with corn bread croutons followed by one of their specialties,
Bryce’s Legendary Meatloaf accompanied by boursin cheese
mashers and green beans. Dessert will be Chocolate Decadence
with Chocolate Sauce. Coffee and iced tea are included with
an option to purchase other beverages.

this traveling exhibit of seven exquisite Tif-

dows and give us insight into the man who created them, Louis
Comfort Tiffany, son of “The King of Diamonds.”
