Decide for yourself whether the king is drunk, dim-witted,
or both? The role is handled brilliantly by Robyn Ellison.

Considered to be the original "adventure / romance" story, first published in 1844 by Alexander Dumas, "The Three Musketeers" has become the time-tested framework with a track record that includes more than 50 film versions.

When these two nuns discover Three Musketeer Aramis wants to be
a monk, they immediately show their approval. Ryan Konarske
and Brittany Ferguson are the nuns. Aramis is played by Justin Church.

Likewise, much of our entertainment features similar characters including: good guys, bad guys, a beautiful villian, a hero, a love interest, traitors, an arch enemy, etc ...

Sound familiar?

Wait ... not so fast. How many comedies have you seen with live sword-play.

Several cast members are veterans of the GSC stage including: Whitney Stalnaker, Palmer Stephens, Ryan Konarske, Rose Johnson, Justin Church, and Justin Blankenship.

Constance challenges D'Artagnan's sincerity by trying to stall his departure. He quickly wins her trust and they become worthy allies. Rose Johnson is Constance; D'Artagnan is played by Justin Blankenship.

Dennis Wemm in his 24th year directing stage productions holds down two roles. This is Wemm's own adaptation of the play. Cast member Palmer Stephens composed the original music.

"The Three Musketeers" will be presented at 7 p.m. Thursday and Friday. All students of any age get in free; general admission charge for adults is $3. The show is approximately two hours in length with one intermission.
