The Three Musketeers
By Robert Kauzlaric
Adapted from the novel by Alexandre Dumas
Directed by Drew Vidal
November 15-16, 20-23 at 7:30 p.m.
November 17 and 24 at 2:30 p.m.In pursuit of his dream of becoming a Musketeer, young d’Artagnan travels to Paris, where he befriends the legendary Three Inseperables: Athos, Porthos, and Aramis. His acts of bravery earn the respect of King Louis XIII but ensnare d’Artagnan in the deadly schemes of Cardinal Richelieu and the beautiful yet depraved Milady Clarik. When the love of his life, Constance Bonacieux, is kidnapped on the eve of war, d’Artagnan must weigh his loyalties to king and country, comrades-in-arms, and the callings of his heart. Journey from Paris to London, from countryside taverns to glittering palaces, from a humble farm in Gascony to the siege of La Rochelle, in an epic tale of passion, intrigue, and adventure. “All for one, and one for all!”
This adaptation of The Three Musketeers was originally commissioned by the Illinois Shakespeare Festival (Deb Alley, Artistic Director), and premiered there in 2010.

Seagulls
Directed by Audrey Walters
Written by Caryl Churchill
A department store clerk has recently become famous for her telekinetic powers after nabbing a shoplifter by willing the item he stole right up out of his bag. On her way to Harvard for scientific testing, her powers desert her. Is this the result of meeting an odd fan? Perhaps her awareness that now she is a commodity to be exploited is responsible? Or is it that strange, glowing box with a rocket on the side?

A Bethrothal
Directed by Tyler Robertson
Written by Lanford Wilson
A warm-hearted and humorous study of two fanatical iris-breeders who meet at a flower show. Annoyed and disappointed that their wonderful creations have been so rudely ignored by the judges, they eventually pool their anger ad resources resulting in the birth of an exciting new project – the creation of a cross-breed of their two would-be champions which would surely rock the horticultural world!
