Dana Friedman adapts Alexandre Dumas' exhilarating tale of D'Artagnan as he braves 17th Century Paris in search of fame and fortune. Along the way he befriends the King's most courageous Musketeers, falls for the Queen's most beguiling courtesan, and conquers his most fearsome foe--Cardinal Richelieu. Friedman renders Dumas' classic swashbuckling adventure with humor and panache in this world premiere play. Recommended for children ages 5+

B Street audiences have enjoyed Dana Friedman's work for over a decade. An actress now based in New York, she began at B Street as an intern and has since appeared in countless productions, including the wildly successful Nibroc Trilogy, Make Someone Happy, God of Carnage, and Jack Goes Boating. The Three Musketeers will be Friedman's second play to premiere in B Street's Family Series to date.

The Three Musketeers is the fourth and final show of B Street's 2012-2013 Family Series.
