Mary Moody Northern Theatre Presents The Three Musketeers

Join Mary Moody Northen Theatre, the award-winning producing arm of the St. Edward’s University Department of Performing Arts, as we continue our 46th anniversary season with the regional premiere of Megan Monaghan Rivas’ glorious comedy, The Three Musketeers.

All for one, and one for all! Join d’Artagnan in his quest to join the King’s Royal Musketeers in this new adaptation of the classic coming-of-age story. Rivas’ retelling plants itself firmly in 17th-century France yet provides a fresh, contemporary sensibility — one where men and women are equal in their ability to serve the crown. Join us for a night of intrigue, swashbuckling and romance. This regional premiere features Equity guest artists Marc Pouhé and J. Ben Wolfe.
