Kate’s 15 Costume Changes in The Three Musketeers!

 What a show for Katelyn's Junior Year!  They had an all-star cast of Senior boys who reveled in the comedy and combat of the 3 Musketeers. WHAT. A. PARTY! it was for them! And the whole cast. In addition to being the Student Director for her cast of the show, Katelyn also played the roles of Lady in Waiting for the Queen, Cardinal's Guard, a Nun, and a tavern wench.  6 different costumes, which she had to put on and take off multiple times each!  It was a madhouse backstage!  But the show turned out great, it was hilarious.  And Katelyn got to learn several new swordfights and dances, very cool. 

Here she is in her fancy dress, so pretty. Onstage with Andrea the Queen, Kyle the King and Dylan the Cardinal. And after with Andrea and Dylan's little brother who played young king Louis, so funny!

The big reveal scene at the end, and Katelyn and the other ladies of the court having a laugh with the queen and Treville.

ladies with parasols (kate malaina and clover), and Katelyn and Ben at the masquerade ball.

more dancing, and Kate with her sibling supporters!

Katelyn clapping during the bows! the music for the show (by Leah) was actually really cool- modern songs in an old-timey lute/harp/violin type style, it was awesome. And then the bows were to the song Carry On by Fun, it was such a cool way to end! ANd Kate and Liam with his scary beard haha.

Kate in the back charging with the Card Guard, and fighting Sean.

Fighting Michaiah and watching Michaiah and Michael.

On the right with the Guard, and being dragged offstage dead!

In an epic 3v1 fight scene with Liam (Porthos) vs Katelyn, Katherine and Leo.

They had to work on this scene quite a bit and there was lots of great acting in it!

Katelyn's great death scene:

And this was the part where Katelyn had the most lines; as a nun! She and Carrie and Liliana (Milady- the villain), rehearsed this one 3 minute exchange until their timing and delivery was PERFECT, it was hilarious.  Kate and Carrie played the part of gossipy nuns who had no personal space boundaries and kept making the evil villain uncomfortable!  So great. Oh and on the left you see them with Constance (Ally)

Katelyn's face! So awesome!

Kate and Ben singing and dancing as tavern-goers (he was a lead in the other cast).

Katelyn and Malaina had to keep up a dialogue background acting for like 10 minutes in this tavern scene!

Katelyn flirting with Nathan (Aramis)

After bows when they (Roslyn- the other cast student director) gave Ms. Millet flowers- you can see Katelyn in the middle.

Three Musketeers was the perfect choice for the play this year, what a great show! Katelyn had a great time and learned a lot.
