Three Musketeers swing into Majestic

CORVALLIS - This winter, Majestic Education presents “The Three Musketeers,” based on the story by Alexandre Dumas and adapted for the stage by Max Bush. This stage adventure, directed by local actor/director/teacher Jen Waters, will feature student actors from local middle and high schools as a culmination of the winter term of performance-intensive classes.

Two public performances will be held at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 29, and at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, March 1. Tickets can be purchased online at www.majestic.org, by visiting the Majestic Theatre box office at 115 S.W. Second St. between noon and 4 p.m. weekdays or by calling 738-7469.

To fulfill his dream of becoming a Musketeer, young d’Artagnan heads for Paris and into a world of romance, intrigue and action. Once in Paris, d’Artagnan unwittingly challenges all three of the Inseparables — Athos, Porthos and Aramis — to a duel. When the Cardinal’s guards arrive, d’Artagnan joins with the Musketeers, turning the sword fight into a Musketeer victory.

Soon he is called into action again to rescue Constance Bonacieux, the queen’s seamstress, with whom he falls immediately in love. Through Constance, d’Artagnan learns of the Cardinal’s plot to destroy the queen and embraces the chance to prove himself worthy of Constance and the uniform of a Musketeer. With hilarious antics, heroic sword fighting and quippy dialogue, d’Artagnan and the three Musketeers try to save France from the evil Cardinal Richelieu and his forces as they stand, “All for one and one for all!”
