CHAGRIN FALLS, OH — Chagrin Valley Little Theatre leaps
into 2024 with an adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' "The
Three Musketeers" penned by Tony Award winner Ken Ludwig.
The production will run Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 PM
from January 25 - February 9, with a matinees at 2:00 PM

Director Don Bernardo brings this fast-paced and hilarious
play to the stage, having also helmed a production of
Ludwig's "Robin Hood" adaptation last year. Many of the
same beloved actors return for this production, along with
several new faces. Following the Sunday matinee on 2/4,
Mr. Bernardo will present a talk on "The Three Musketeers
and Popular Culture," tracing the history of the
Musketeers and Dumas' novels and their various
interpretations across many time periods and cultures.

Dumas' 1844 story is one of literature's most thrilling
and most adapted romantic adventures. In Ludwig's fresh
version, the dashing Musketeers — and one plucky kid
sister — swashbuckle their way through nefarious villains,
international intrigue, and exotic ladies. It's 'all for
one and one for all!' in an action-packed update of this
beloved classic.
