"Guys and Dolls," a musical fable of Broadway, is based on the stories and characters of Damon Runyon. Complete with underground dice-slinging, glitzy showgirls and high-stakes romance, "Guys and Dolls" is one of America’s most enduring musical comedies.

Rich with unforgettable melodies by Frank Loesser, "Guys and Dolls" includes beloved show tunes such as “Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ The Boat,” “If I Were A Bell” and “Luck Be A Lady.”

The story centers on Sky Masterson, a career gambler who is visiting 1950s New York City. He makes the bet of a lifetime to win the heart of “Save-A-Soul” missionary, Sarah Brown.

Meanwhile Adelaide, a long-suffering nightclub star laments her 14-year engagement to foot-dragging beau, Nathan Detroit.

The production is under the direction of Patricia Murray, with costumes by Kathy Fisher, choreography by Christine Lauterbach, accompaniment by Richard Schacher, scenery and artistic design by Elizabeth Pesce & Danny Lauterbach, lighting and sound design by Noreen Guerra and is produced by Marie Mignano.
