      In honor of our final show for The Three Musketeers, we’ll share three Encore stories with you today on the “Front Row” blog! Let’s meet one of the musketeers and learn about his Encore journey: Brody Karton!

      Hi my name is Brody Karton. I am 14 years old and in 8th grade at Kenmore Middle School. I enjoy playing many sports including basketball and baseball.

      Encore: What is your role in The Three Musketeers and what was your reaction when you received the part?
      Brody:
      In The Three Musketeers I play Aramis. I was really excited when I got the part because I wanted to be one of the musketeers and I thought Aramis was the most like me.

      Encore: What other roles, productions, programs have you been involved in with Encore? What is your most memorable moment in this show or other Encore programs?
      Brody:
      My two most recent shows with Encore were Sherlock Holmes where I played the Sergeant and The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow where I played Brom Bones. The most memorable moment of this show was probably the first time we were given swords and learned the very basics of fencing. I was really excited for all the stage combat with swords which I never experienced before.

      Encore: What can our audiences look forward to in this show?
      Brody:
      There are lots of funny scenes and lines in the show and it’s also very interesting seeing a [furry friend] on stage.

      Encore: What are some tips you can share to families about being in the audience?
      Brody:
      Feel free to laugh as much as you want. It’s really fun when you’re on stage and the audience shows they’re into the show by understanding the jokes and laughing at them.
