The Marian Rice Players invites you to roll the dice and fall in love again on March 23 – 26, 2017 when we present Guys and Dolls, a musical fable of Broadway.

Based on the stories and characters by Damon Runyon, with music and lyrics by Frank Loesser and book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows, Guys and Dolls tells the story of a gambler, Nathan Detroit who runs a “floating” crap game, much to the dismay of his long suffering fiancée of 14 years, the Hot Box night club singer, Adelaide Adams. To raise the money to pay for a venue for his crap game, he bets $1000 on what he believes is a sure thing. Sky Masterson, a high rolling, suave gambler boasts that he could have any girl he wants. So Nathan bets him that he can’t get the local Save A Soul “mission doll,” Sarah Brown to come to dinner with him. Confusion, mayhem and hilarity ensue as gangsters and missionaries collide in this fable of Broadway that is sure to entertain your whole family!

Guys and Dolls features some of Frank Loesser’s most memorable tunes, including the romantic “I’ve Never Been in Love Before,” the exuberant “If I Were a Bell,” the classic “Luck Be a Lady,” and the irrepressible anthem “Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ the Boat.”
