The
Acting Company, the renowned nationally touring, classic repertory
theater, will offer New York theatergoers the choice between Alexandre
Dumas' The Three Musketeers or Shakespeare's Macbeth--both of which began their run on May 9th.
Both plays will run at the Baruch Performing Arts Center's (BPAC)
Nagelberg Theatre (55 Lexington Avenue, East 25th St., between
Lexington and Third Avenues) this month. Stars such as Angela Lansbury and Marian Seldes turned out for the party celebrating the two shows.

Matthew Steiner, Matthew Bradford Sullivan, and Henry Vick. The cast
will have just completed a repertory tour to some 50 cities in 30
states prior to the New York engagements.The Acting Company,
now celebrating its 34nd season, was founded in 1972 by current
Producing Director Margot Harley and the late John Houseman out of the
first graduating class of the Juilliard School. "The company has a dual

bring theater to under-served communities nationwide." Among its graduates are Kevin Kline and Patti LuPone.
