Marin Shakespeare Company Continues 2017 Summer Festival Season with Ken Ludwig's THE THREE MUSKETEERS

All for fun and fun for all!

Marin Shakespeare Company, Marin County's professional and award-winning outdoor summer Shakespeare festival, continues its 28th season with "The Three Musketeers."

Ken Ludwig's adaptation of the classic novel by Alexander Dumas is a comic, swashbuckling adventure for all ages. This new version introduces Sabine, D'Artagnan's sister. Posing as a man, Sabine is entangled in the adventures of D'Artagnan and his misfit Musketeers as they fight foes and defend the honor of their Queen. Robert Currier directs this production starring Jonah Robinson as D'Artagnan and ELena Wright as Milady and featuring fight direction by Richard Pallaziol.

Audiences are encouraged to bring picnics or purchase snacks at the Theatre Cafe. Warm clothing, jackets and blankets are recommended for evening performances. Parking is free.

Free pre-show and post-show conversations with a company artist or scholar are presented on select performance dates. Shakespeare Dinners are presented at 6:30 p.m. on select Saturdays for an additional $35 for a gourmet picnic and intimate pre-show talk. Wine, beer and soft drinks are available for sale, or bring your own. Shakespeare Dinner reservations are required at least two hours in advance.
