The Davis Shakespeare Festival is underway with the swashbuckling adventure-comedy The Three Musketeers and the 1950s musical Wonderful Town, alternating in repertory through August 6. The former, of course, is based on the Alexandre Dumas historical novel and features hijinks galore. The latter musical, with a score by Leonard Bernstein, is about two basement-dwelling sisters who aspire to make it in entertainment, one as a writer and the other as an actress. 8 p.m. Thursday, June 30, and Friday, July 1, 2 p.m. Saturday, July 2, 2 p.m. and 8 p.m., Sunday, July 3; Veterans Memorial Theatre, 203 E. 14th Street in Davis; $15-$25.
