Remember pep talks? Those inspiring speeches your [insert sport here] coach gave to pump up your team before you hit the field. Remember how they made you feel like you could do anything? Could you use one of those right about now?

One for All and All for One! Join Porthos, Athos, Aramis and the young D'Artangian, as they adventure across France, Swashing their Buckles and Buckling Their Swashes all in an attempt to foil the evil machinations of Rochefort, Malady De Winter, and the nefarious Cardinal Richelieu. And with any great adventure comes plenty of action and romance, as well as some grand comedy. The Three Musketeers promises to take you on an adventure you will never forget, with plenty of fun for the whole family.

The company returns to La MaMa tonight, January 10 to 20 with 'Something's Got Ahold of My Heart,' its newest creation, that wrestles with the yearning, euphoria and eviscerating tragedy of love. Weaving an energetic blend of 70's pastiche, romantic comedy excerpts, dance theater, testimonials, original music and aggressive physicality, it invites its audience into a deeply emotional experience.
