"My drama students and I enjoyed performing this play and our audience approval was through the roof! This play gives many opportunities for even the smaller characters to shine (yes, you need to include the commercials!). The costuming was fun (but a little stressful) because I ended up making the 3 musketeers uniforms myself but all in all, this play was a blast to direct and my drama students had so much depicting this fictional meeting of the 3 musketeers!"By Kelly Youngbauer - Directer - Verndale Schools
