GREEN HOPE HIGH IN CARY
PRESENTS BROADWAY CLASSIC "GUYS AND DOLLS"
Thursday-Friday, April 7-8, 2005 at 7:30 p.m.
Saturday, April 9, 2005 at 2:00 pm and 7:30 p.m.
Tickets: $8 for adults, $5 for students with student IDs
Cary, NC -- The Green Hope High School (GHHS) theater department will present a special four-performance run of the timeless musical comedy "Guys and Dolls." Performances are in the Green Hope High School auditorium located at 2500 Carpenter Upchurch Road in Cary. The show is directed by Theater Arts Director Margaret Walpole.
Considered one of Broadway's most hilarious shows, "Guys and Dolls" has been described as one of the best musicals ever written for American theater, winning a Best Musical Comedy Award with its 1951 production debut.
Based on the Broadway stories of Damon Runyon, "Guys and Dolls" tells the tale of Nathan Detroit, the organizer of the oldest established permanent floating crap game in New York, who bets fellow gambler Sky Masterson that he can't make the next girl he sees fall in love with him. That "next girl" is Miss Sarah Brown, a pure-at-heart Salvation Army-type reformer. Meanwhile, Nathan is having trouble with his own girlfriend, Adelaide, who after 14 years of dating is ready for marriage. Featuring songs such as "Luck be a Lady" and "Sit Down You're Rockin' the Boat," this show is the perfect balance of story, dance, music, and romance.
Explains director Walpole, "This is a timeless piece of American Theater and may be as close to the 'perfect Broadway musical' as it gets."
The students who make up the cast and crew have put in over 200 hours of rehearsal and preparation time -- singing, dancing, and acting their way through over three-and-a-half months of rehearsals. Sets have been built, costumes designed and compiled, props and an assortment of theater tasks tackled in preparation for their own special presentation of musical theater magic.
Tickets can be purchased at the GHHS front office during regular school hours or at the door prior to performances.
