Texas State University’s School of Theatre, Dance, and Film presents Guys and Dolls, running April 14 - 19, in the Patti Strickel Harrison Theatre.
Based on the stories of Damon Runyon, “Guys and Dolls” is a timeless tale of big-city gamblers and the women who love them. The show follows the unlikely romance between high-stakes gambler Sky Masterson (Eric Shawn) and mission worker Sarah Brown (McKenlee Wilson), as well as the long-time engaged couple: Nathan Detroit (Mia Kaplan) and his showgirl fiancée, Miss Adelaide (Jackson Wood). With unforgettable characters and a compelling storyline, this Tony Award-winning classic continues to captivate audiences of all ages.
Directed by Tom Delbello, with choreography by Julio Catano-Yee and Cameron Monroe Thomas, and music direction by Spencer D.
