mysql sql multi join question

[Pete]

hello i am a novice at database design and i'm having trouble doing a
multi join in mysql, i was able to do a inner join with
just the venues and productions tables below like so

SELECT productions.PID, productions.EID,productions.OID, venues.Name,
venues.VID, venues.City, venues.State, productions.P_Date
FROM productions
INNER JOIN venues ON productions.VID = venues.VID
where productions.VID=50

i want to join all 3 tables so that i can present them all different
sorts of ways in html tables, but i haven't been able to get
the sql statement to execute, i basically want it so that i can get i
can do something like

SELECT events.EID,productions.PID, productions.EID,productions.OID,
venues.Name,
venues.VID, venues.City, venues.State, productions.P_Date
FROM productions
INNER JOIN venues ON productions.VID = venues.VID
INNER JOIN events ON productions.EID = events.EID
where productions.VID=50

i tried doing AND and tried doing different types of joins also but
i'm getting errors and figured that someone maybe be able to explain
how i can go about doing this in the best manner.

here are the tables below:

events table

EID smallint(6) No 0
E_Name varchar(250) No
E_Type tinyint(4) No 0

venues table

VID smallint(6) No 0
Name varchar(255) No
City varchar(200) No
State char(2) No
ZipCode varchar(7) No

MarketId smallint(6) Yes 0

productions table
---------------------

OID smallint(6) No 0
EID smallint(6) No 0
