Here is our version of the Dumas classic. Young D’Artagnan seeks to become a musketeer, or at least see if that brochure about Paris is true. In the city for less than ten minutes, he finds himself facing all three of the musketeers when they are charged by Rochefort and the Cardinal’s Guards. This spoof of seventeenth century France pulls out all the stops and is full of outrageous characters from a lying Cardinal who’s into magic to Milady DeWinter who cannot get rid of her mother. Throw in a narrator, several star-crossed lovers, a race on stick horses and a fund-raising telethon and your audience won’t know what hit them. Full of fast-paced quips and action
