The 3 Musketeers Tickets Are NOW ON SALE – Our Rhetoric School Drama students are excited to bring the action, adventure, and romance of The Three Musketeers to the stage (and perhaps into the audience!) of our brand-new Theater. Plan to join Athos, Porthos, and Aramis — as well as our young adventurer D’Artagnan and his sister Sabine — as they explore themes such as loyalty, love, honor, and justice in 17th-century France. Based on the novel by the black French writer Alexandre Dumas, Ken Ludwig’s version is a refreshing, swashbuckling romp through a familiar story. There may even be some surprises along the way. The play will run May 5-7! Get your tickets NOW!
