By Ken Ludwig
Directed by Mike Price
Ages listed may have some flexibility.
An upbeat, high-energy show
This adaptation is 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
with Sabine, his mischievous younger sister. 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.

A visit from St. Nick
Directed By Lowell Swortzell
On Christmas Eve, 1822, Clement Clarke Moore’s house is not as quiet as a mouse—in fact, everyone is stirring. The three children await the arrival of St. Nicholas. Mother and Father arise thinking they hear intruders. Cousin Harriet enlists the children to copy the poem their father has just written for them, which she hopes to have published for all young people to enjoy. But Father, as a distinguished professor who fears being known as a poet for children, burns the poem so it can never leave the house. Heartbroken, the children unite to save the poem for posterity by improvising it through a riotous enactment. How they convince their father that his verses should be shared with children everywhere brings about the hilarious, happy ending.
Suitable for everyone.
Auditions October 7th and 8th
CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS:
(Roles open to anyone 18 and older)
All My Sons
By Arthur Miller
Directed by Clint Gill
During the war Joe Keller and Herbert Deever ran a machine
shop which made airplane parts. Deever was sent to prison
because the firm turned out defective parts, causing the
deaths of many men. Keller went free and made a lot of
money. The twin shadows of this catastrophe and the fact
that the young Keller son was reported missing during the
war dominate the action. The love affair of Chris Keller
and Ann Deever, the bitterness of George Deever returned
from the war to find his father in prison and his father’s
partner free, are all set in a structure of almost unbearable
power. The climax, showing the reaction of a son to his
guilty father, is a fitting conclusion to a play electrifying in
its intensity.
Suitable for everyone.
