Ken Ludwig's The Three Musketeers
Adaptation by Ken Ludwig. Mike Price directs.
Sunday, June 30th 6-9pm, and Monday, July 1st 7:30-9pm
Callbacks will be on Sunday, July 7th 6-9pm.
Auditions will be cold readings from the script and possible physical exercises related to combat demands.
7-9 men, 4-6 women. Ages listed may have some flexibility depending on overall casting of show, etc.
Some gender switching of roles may occur but are likely limited to those listed as part of the ensemble (there are unlisted roles that will not be determined until the casting of the ensemble).
This is a big, old fashioned adventure tale with drama, comedy, and combat, even a little singing and dancing. It is a fast moving, demanding show physically and vocally -for all involved- and will have a longer rehearsal period to accommodate the complexity of the show and possible schedule conflicts of the participants. A draft rehearsal schedule will be provided at auditions.
