The Town of Manlius Recreation Department presents Guys and Dolls.
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 fourteen 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.
The Town of Manlius Recreation Department began producing musicals in 1976 under the direction of Marshall Nye. Since that time we have grown to become one of the largest community theatre productions in Central New York. In 2009, The Town of Manlius, along with area residents and businesses, was recognized with a State Assembly of New York Proclamation for its commitment to theatre and the arts.
