Three Musketeers at Muncie Civic Theatre

Muncie Civic Theatre presents The Three Musketeers by Ken Ludwig, from the novel by Alexandre Dumas, on the Mainstage, April 17th-19th, 23rd-25th, & May 1st-2nd. Thursday through Saturday performances are at 7:30pm and the Sunday matinee on April 19th is at 2:00pm. Tickets are $15 for adults and $5 for college students and younger.

The Three Musketeers is a classic tale that features exciting sword fights, humor, and a wonderful time for the whole family!

Based on the timeless swashbuckler by Alexandre Dumas, a tale of heroism, treachery, close escapes and above all, honor. The story, set in 1625, begins with d'Artagnan who sets off for Paris in search of adventure. Along with d'Artagnan goes Sabine, his sister, the quintessential tomboy. Sent with d'Artagnan to attend a convent school in Paris, she poses as a young man - d'Artagnan's servant - and quickly becomes entangled in her brother's adventures.

Soon after reaching Paris, d'Artagnan encounters the greatest heroes of the day, Athos, Porthos and Aramis, the famous musketeers, and he joins forces with his heroes to defend the honor of the Queen of France. In so doing, he finds himself in opposition to the most dangerous man in Europe, Cardinal Richelieu. Even more deadly is the infamous Countess de Winter, known as Milady, who will stop at nothing to revenge herself on d'Artagnan - and Sabine - for their meddlesome behavior.
