MHS to present ‘Guys and Dolls’ Nov. 1-3
The Monticello High School Drama Department will present “Guys and Dolls” Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Nov. 1-3, 7 p.m. each day in the MHS Auditorium.
Set in Damon Runyon’s mythical New York City, “Guys and Dolls” is an oddball romantic comedy. Gambler Nathan Detroit tries to find the cash to set up the biggest craps game in town while the authorities breathe down his neck. Meanwhile, his girlfriend and nightclub performer, Adelaide, laments that they’ve been engaged for 14 years.
Nathan turns to fellow gambler Sky Masterson for the dough, and Sky ends up chasing the straight-laced missionary, Sarah Brown, as a result.
“Guys and Dolls” takes us from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana, Cuba, and even into the sewers of New York City, but eventually, everyone ends up right where they belong.
Tickets are $5 for adults, $4 for students and senior citizens.
