Many times, this took the form of hitting each other with sticks and imagining they were swords, and imagining the resulting black eyes and fat lips were in no way caused by recklessly hitting each other with sticks and imagining they were swords. We are born artists and storytellers, and through the years, we have learned more and more how to tell our stories. I was almost always the youngest of my group of friends, and I was almost always put in the role of the plucky, aspiring hero among his idols. I was a younger brother. I played Sonic the Hedgehog as Tails, and I totally thought Robin was as cool as Batman. When beginning work on this production of The Three Musketeers, I imagined my childhood friends in the roles of Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, as I joined them – the d’Artagnan of our musketeers. I tried to think: who was our villainous cardinal? What dastardly deeds and nefarious schemes would we have thwarted in our attempts to foil him? As I grew up, these stories have stayed with me, and are reflected in almost everything I write. I have a strong love for imagination and fantasy, and throughout this production, I have met several people along the way who have shared my passions for storytelling, many of whom will be appearing on stage before you tonight. I thank them for their guidance, their help, their patience with me, and all the work they’ve put into this show. I grew up imagining I would be surrounded by my friends on a fantastic adventure, and as we prepare to open this weekend, I have found that that is exactly where I am. Here we are, a group of kids hitting each other with swords and imagining we are the three musketeers. Derek Lynch (Director) Every once in a while, Derek crawls out from under the rock where he lives and tries his hand at some theatrical endeavor. Three Musketeers marks Derek’s directorial debut. He has assisted in directing under the unofficial tutelage of Lester Malizia, as well as pretended he knew what he was talking about in every other theatrical production he’s ever been a part of. He has appeared on stage as Touchstone the clown in As You Like It, Durdles in The Mystery of Edwin Drood, and most notably, Villager #7 in Fiddler on the Roof. Most recently he appeared on stage in The Jesters’ Guild’s production of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged), which was in 2014. So, it’s been a while. More recently, he had an original short play premiere in the 2016 Pittsburgh New Works Festival. He is an actor, author, playwright, photographer, painter, musician, mime, magician, Ninja Turtles fan, pumpkin artist, snowman architect, and chronic embellisher. He aspires to one day stop aspiring to things, as ambition is quite tiring at times. While he does not take himself seriously in the least, Derek would like everyone to know that the cast and crew of this production have been absolutely wonderful throughout the entire process, and they deserve so much more than just their credits in this program. He would like to thank each and every one of you for coming tonight ... So, if you could please form a single-file line on your way out and proceed toward the exit in an orderly fashion, we can get that taken care of. Production Team Tonya Lynn (Fight Director) is an actor, director, fight director and teaching artist based in Pittsburgh, PA. She has provided fight direction for over eighty productions, in styles ranging from contemporary unarmed combat to medieval swordplay and in genres both comic and tragic for theatre companies and educational institutions throughout the Pittsburgh area and beyond.

She received her M.A. in Theatre from the University of Pittsburgh, and has trained with both the International Stuntmens’ Association and the Society of American Fight Directors (SAFD), where she is recognized as an Advanced Actor-Combatant. Tonya annually coordinates the Allegheny Alley Fight, a SAFD-sanctioned regional stage combat workshop that promotes and provides stage combat training for local theatre professionals at all levels of experience.

    13 s e p t e m b e r 2 0 0 7 “But wouldn’t it be cheaper just to use a man in a suit?” Chunga is a darkened theater where Lee Hoffman and Ron Bennett sit in the middle third row. Rich brown leans forward in the row behind them, and he won’t stop talking. Other fans are expected, and all three look over their shoulders in anticipation. In the projection booth, Bob Tucker is pouring shots from a green-labeled bottle. One for each reel change — two cartoons, a news reel, the serial chapter, the A picture, and the B picture. A pleasant odor of bourbon and popcorn fills the darkness as he throws the switch.

  • Dictionary of Westerns in Cinema
    PERFORMING ARTS • FILM HISTORICAL DICTIONARY OF Historical Dictionaries of Literature and the Arts, No. 26 VARNER When early filmgoers watched The Great Train Robbery in 1903, many shrieked in terror at the very last clip, when one of the outlaws turned toward the camera and seemingly fired a gun directly at the audience. The puff of WESTERNS smoke was sudden and hand-colored, and it looked real. Today we can look back at that primitive movie and see all the elements of what would evolve HISTORICAL into the Western genre. Perhaps the Western’s early origins—The Great Train DICTIONARY OF Robbery was the first narrative, commercial movie—or its formulaic yet enter- WESTERNS in Cinema taining structure has made the genre so popular. And with the recent success of films like 3:10 to Yuma and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, the Western appears to be in no danger of disappearing. The story of the Western is told in this Historical Dictionary of Westerns in Cinema through a chronology, a bibliography, an introductory essay, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on cinematographers; com- posers; producers; films like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Dances with Wolves, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, High Noon, The Magnificent Seven, The Searchers, Tombstone, and Unforgiven; actors such as Gene Autry, in Cinema Cinema Kirk Douglas, Clint Eastwood, Henry Fonda, Jimmy Stewart, and John Wayne; and directors like John Ford and Sergio Leone.

  • LESMAP De Drie Musketiers
    DE DRIE MUSKETIERS lesmap Beste leerkracht, Binnenkort woont u met uw klas het OORcollege De drie musketiers van het Antwerp Symphony Orchestra bij. In deze lesmap vindt u alles om van uw leerlingen muzikale helden te maken die goed voorbereid zijn op het concertbezoek waarbij ze kennismaken met de dappere lijfwachten van Lodewijk XIII. Tijdens het concert horen ze de beroemde leuze ‘Eén voor allen, allen voor één’ weerklinken op muziek van de Britse componist Malcolm Arnold. De drie musketiers is een vuistdikke klassieker geschreven door de Franse schrijver Alexandre Dumas. De roman werd voor het eerst als boek gepubliceerd in 1844. Tijdens het OORcollege luisteren de leerlingen naar een nieuwe versie, een fl itsende vertelling perfect op maat van leerlingen van het 3e, 4e en 5e leerjaar. De voorstelling wordt gespeeld door de lijfwachten van theatergroep Lazarus met Joris Van den Brande (spel en tekst), Günther Lesage (spel) en Pieter Genard (spel). Dirk Brossé scherpt alvast het puntje van zijn dirigeerstok om samen met het Antwerp Symphony Orchestra de muzikale uitvoering te verzorgen. Deze lesmap bevat naast achtergrondinformatie en educatieve tips ook nog verschillende uitgewerkte muzische opdrachten die de kinderen stimuleren om zelf actief op zoek te gaan naar de hechte broederschap tussen de musketiers. Ze ontdekken hoe het leven aan het Franse hof vol intriges zat. Werken op een muzische manier is een ideale werkwijze om moeilijke thema’s zoals ‘broederschap, samenhorigheid of macht’ makkelijker te verteren. Na afl oop van de voorstelling kan u dit materiaal ook nog verder gebruiken. Praat met uw leerlingen na over het OORcollege.

  • Alexandre Dumas, the Three Musketeers (Chapters 4 and 5)
    Alexandre Dumas, The Three Musketeers (Chapters 4 and 5) It is young D’Artagnan’s first day in Paris, having come there in hopes of becoming a Musketeer. While he is visiting the chief Musketeer, Treville, he looks out the window and notices a man who had insulted him a day or two before walking in the street. D’Artagnan bursts out, hoping to fight the man. D’Artagnan, in a state of fury, crossed the antechamber at three bounds, and was darting toward the stairs, which he reckoned upon descending four at a time, when, in his heedless course, he ran head foremost against a Musketeer who was coming out of one of M. de Treville’s private rooms, and striking his shoulder violently, made him utter a cry, or rather a howl. “Excuse me,” said d’Artagnan, endeavoring to resume his course, “excuse me, but I am in a hurry.” Scarcely had he descended the first stair, when a hand of iron seized him by the belt and stopped him. “You are in a hurry?” said the Musketeer, as pale as a sheet. “Under that pretense you run against me! You say, ‘Excuse me,’ and you believe that is sufficient? Not at all, my young man. Do you fancy because you have heard Monsieur de Treville speak to us a little cavalierly today that other people are to treat us as he speaks to us? Undeceive yourself, comrade, you are not Monsieur de Treville.” “My faith!” replied d’Artagnan, recognizing Athos, who, after the dressing performed by the doctor, was returning to his own apartment.
