May 23-29, 2002 artpicks One More One Man of La Mancha
TheaterMany actors spend years in one role, usually in a touring company of some big-name production. Few actors spend years in one role in one city, and it's a safe bet only one actor -- Dean Patrick Carvin -- has spent the last 12 years playing all of the roles in one show, Man of La Mancha. Carvin's One Man of La Mancha started at the Shubin Theater on Bainbridge Street in 1990 (he claims his show was the theater's first full production). Over the years the show has grown in popularity, and Carvin expanded his repertoire and started his own theater company, Two Face Productions. Carvin's company produced his hit show in the 2000 Fringe Festival, Manic, a somewhat scathing look at mental health care in Philadelphia. Now that he's had 12 years of Mancha, Carvin is closing the show with a bang -- performing in May to bring attention to Mental Health Awareness Month and donating proceeds from his last two performances to Action AIDS' Arts Immediate Seating program (a program to donate tickets to arts events to people using Action AIDS' other community services). Furthermore, for the first time Carvin will do the whole show and play all of the characters without taking any breaks. Sound like an Impossible Dream? Well, Carvin lost 40 pounds to prepare for his Mancha swan song, so he just might pull it off. Carvin will continue to do local theater and produce new shows with Two Face, but this is your last change to see the man as, well, the Man. One Man of La Mancha, Fri.-Sat., May 24-25, 8 p.m., Philadelphia Ethical Society, 1906 S. Rittenhouse Sq., 215-635-5401.
