The Collegiate Players anad the Upper School Thespians are excited to present Guys and Dolls, directed by Steve Perigard.
A true Broadway classic, Guys and Dolls is considered by many to be the perfect musical-comedy. Set in Damon Runyon’s mythical New York City, this masterpiece of American Musical Theater is filled with some of the most-loved Broadway show-tunes ever, including “Luck be a Lady,” “I’ve never Been in Love Before,” and “Sit Down You’re Rockin’ the Boat.”
Nathan Detroit desperately needs to find the cash to keep his “oldest, established, permanent, floating crap game” alive. So with the authorities breathing down his neck and Adelaide, his marriage-minded girlfriend of 14 years, applying equal pressure, Nathan makes a bet with high-roller Sky Masterson that he hopes will solve everything. Instead, the bet throws everyone's lives, including the straight-laced missionary Sarah Brown’s, into temporary and hilarious chaos. Guys and Dolls takes us from the heart of 1930’s Times Square, to the cafes of Havana, Cuba, and into the sewers of New York City before restoring peace and bringing everyone their well-deserved happy ending.
