What: The Three Musketeers Centerstage Dinner

Where: The Alley Theatre

PC Moment: What fun when following the premiere of the Alley’s swashbuckling romp, VIP guests mixed it up with cast members, who were still in their 17th century costumes. Swords, however, were not at play.

Instead, D’Artagnan and his musketeer brethren helped themselves to champagne as the appreciative audience members toasted the performance.

Prior to the curtain going up, the 170-plus VIPs sat for a dinner from A Fare Extraordinaire and heard from Alley managing director Dean Gladden and board president Butch Mach, who congratulated outgoing interim artistic director James Black on his remarkable season. Joining in the program was The Three Musketeers director Mark Shanahan, longtime friend of Black and fan of the Alley.

The play runs in the Hubbard Theatre of the Alley through June 30.
