The Three Musketeers

The Sacramento Shakespeare Festival adds Ken Ludwig’s adaptation of the Alexandre Dumas classic action-adventure tale to the season’s repertory. Brave d’Artagnan, his little sister and the three musketeers keep evil Cardinal Richelieu and his henchwoman Milady from killing the king and taking France to war—using a sword fight approximately every seven minutes. It’s great fun for kids, with humor the adults will enjoy. Directed by Christine Nicholson and in repertory with Much Ado About Nothing, The Three Musketeers is a great way to spend a summer evening with the family. Th 7/17 8pm; F 7/25 & 8/1 8pm; Sa 7/19 8pm; Su 7/27 & 8/3 6pm. Through 8/3. $15-$18. Sacramento Shakespeare Festival in the William A. Carroll Amphitheatre in William Land Park, 3901 Land Park Dr.; www.sacramentoshakespeare.net.
