Zz LCC Presents - 2023 - The Acting Company:
Wednesday, February 22, 11 a.m. and 7:30 p.m.

In a new adaptation of this epic tale, The Acting Company mashes up waltz with spoken word and high court drama with high fashion hip-hop to reclaim the swashbuckling classic for today, where courage, honesty and valor can still change the world. Inspiration is drawn from the astonishing secret that Dumas’ father, General Alex Dumas, was the highest-ranking person of color in a Western military until our own time.

Tickets start at $25.
Parental Considerations: This production contains strong language, mature themes, and depictions of smoking, drinking, stylized violence, and suicide.

“I think people don't always know that ‘The Three Musketeers’ springs from a Black imagination. And so, I'm really excited to bring that additional layer of dynamic and cultural integrity into the story," stated Kent Gash, artistic director of The Acting Company. A native of Denver, Gash is an award-winning director, artistic leader, educator and author.

The Acting Company has been and will always be America’s dynamic new and classic theatre, where then meets now!” – Artistic Director Kent Gash.

The Acting Company develops actors by touring professional theater across America. The Company has been seen by over 4 million people in 48 states, 10 foreign countries, on and off-Broadway and at leading resident theaters. The Company's education programs bring professional productions, in-school residencies and teacher training workshops to thousands of students in underserved schools and disadvantaged communities each year. Founded in 1972 by John Houseman and Margot Harley with the first graduating class of the Drama Division of The Juilliard School, The Acting Company has launched the careers of some 400 actors while bringing sophisticated theater to hundreds of communities from coast to coast.
