THE THREE MUSKETEERS Opens at The Greenhouse Theater Center

The Theatre School at DePaul University presents THE THREE MUSKETEERS, by Alexandre Dumas, adapted by Ken Ludwig, and directed by Stephen James Anderson, as the final installment of the 2009-2010 New Directors Series. 

This unhinged new version of the classic swashbuckler follows the renowned adventures of D'Artagnan and his three musketeer-mentors, as they fight with courage for king and country while distracted by spirits, sex, and song. Anderson's direction of this extraordinary quest will be sure to have audiences shouting "All for one, and one for all!"

New Directors Series productions are directed in partial fulfillment of the Master of Fine Arts degree in Directing at The Theatre School. THE THREE MUSKETEERS serves as Stephen James Anderson's MFA thesis project, after three years of production practice and training in order to
fulfill his degree requirements. To learn more about Anderson's past projects, The New Directors Series, or the MFA Directing curriculum, please visit http://theatreschool.depaul.edu.
