Guys Dolls MacBeth Company Drama Club along with Thespian Troup 638 presented the musical “Guys and Dolls on April 20 and 21 at 8 p.m. in the high school's commons. Guys and Dolls” not only belongs with that aristocratic society of mu- sicals that have had a run of over one thousand performances, but it is also one of the very best ever pro- duced. It opened November 20, 1950 on Broadway and closed November 24, 1963 for a run of 1,200 perfor- mances. It became the first Broad- way show to be sold to Hollywood for more than $1,000,000.00. “Guys and Dolls” is centered around a little-known Ruyon story, the “Idyll of Sarah Brown , but it was enriched by a horde of Ruyon's typical Broadway characters. Na- than Detroit, Sky Masterson, Big jule, Benny Southstreet, Niceley-Ni- celey Johnson, Harry the Horse and Angie the Ox. All of them are gaAi- blers, and the action concerns them, their girls and their troubles. The chief trouble being the difficulty of deciding between the rolling of the dice and the beating of the heart. There are two love stories, each equally wacky. The first involves the mercurial Nathan Detroit a small but hot-shot proprietor of “The Old- est Established Permanent Floating Crap Game in New York,” which is, incidentally, the title of one of the most hilarious hit songs in the show. Detroit is definitely, if irregularly, devoted to Miss Adelaide, a night club canary. They have been en- gaged for fourteen years, but their nuptials have been continually post- poned because of Nathan’s sudden need to dash off to Saratoga race track, superintend a particulary fe- verish crap game, and disappears in other mysterious ways. The other romance concerns Sky Masterson, a big time, free living free loving, plunger in others words a hawk as he explains in the nactur- nal “My Time of Day and Sarah Brown the head of the gallant but rundown Save A Soul Mission. Top: Christine Rhoades as Sarah Brown tries to persuade Miss Adelaide portrayed by Pam Zimmerman to join the Save-A-Soul Mission. Cast members for the Spring musical include: Keri Slaby. Norman Knoop, Paula Shireman, Kathy Vogel. Pam Zimmerman. Christine Rhoades. Gail Weirick. Karen Wiley. Roni Baker, Sherri Clark. Teresa Wallace. Back Row: Tim Stokes. Brett Cumberland. Matt Johnson. Dane Jervis, Chuch Hurd. Herbie King. Marty Smith, Wally Dove.
