Coed Junior High Theatre
The Three Musketeers: All Swash and No Buckle - Friday Evening
(Loosely based on the work by Alexander Dumas.) Ever wonder if chivalry is dead? Wonder who killed it? Witness yet another telling of the Dumas classic of derring-do, dastardly deeds and dainty costumes. Young D’Artagnan seeks to become a musketeer or, at least, see if that brochure about Paris was true or not. He is not in the City of Lights for more than ten minutes when he finds himself dueling all three of the musketeers. This spoof of 17th century France pulls out all the stops, and is full of outrageous characters from a lying Cardinal who’s into magic, to Milady DeWinter who cannot get rid of her mother. Throw in a narrator, several star-crossed lovers, a race on stick horses, and a fund-raising telethon, and the audience won’t know what hit them. Full of fast-paced dialogue and action, this just could be the real story behind The Three Musketeers.
