Additional performance added to upcoming Northwest production
by LaJuan Tallo 1/24/2008 The Fine Arts Division at Northwest Mississippi Community College recently announced that an additional Saturday performance has been added to its upcoming production of “Guys and Dolls.” Jo Ellen Logan, the show’s director, said that the department has already begun receiving phone calls about Northwest’s production of the popular musical. “Guys and Dolls” is set to run at the Fine Arts Auditorium on the Senatobia campus on Thursday, Feb. 21 and Friday, Feb. 22 at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, Feb. 23 at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, Feb. 24 at 2:30 p.m. “We added an afternoon performance on Saturday due to popular demand,” Logan said. “Guys and Dolls” was written by Abe Burrows, Frank Loesser, and Jo Swerling. Based on Damon Runyon's short story "The Idyll of Miss Sarah Brown," “Guys and Dolls” revolves around 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. The next girl he sees happens to be Miss Sarah Brown, a pure-at-heart Salvation Army-type reformer, and the stage is set for an hilarious evening of complications. According to imagination.com, “Guys and Dolls” opened at the 46th Street Theatre on Nov. 24, 1950 and enjoyed a run of 1,200 performances. The original cast included Robert Alda, Vivian Blaine, Sam Levene and Isabel Bigley. The 1955 film version featured Marlon Brando, Vivian Blaine, Frank Sinatra and Jean Simmons. General admission is $5 and $2 for students and seniors. For more information, contact Sam Weakley, house manager, at 662-562-3329 or e-mail sweakley@northwestms.edu. |
