• Photo: Bring a recent photo that looks like you, that you do not need returned. No need at all for professional photos. It is merely to help the casting board recall who is who.
• Show info: Considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy, “Guys And Dolls” ran for 1,200 performances when it opened on Broadway in 1950. It received nearly unanimous positive reviews from critics and won a bevy of awards, including TONY Awards, Drama Desks, and Olivers. 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, nightclub performer Adelaide, laments that they’ve been engaged for 14 years. Nathan turns to fellow gambler Sky Masterson for the dough, but Sky ends up chasing the straight-laced missionary Sarah Brown. 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.

Performances will be Sept. 25-27 at the Mason High School Theater.

Who’s Directing?: Show will be directed by Erin Wallace, Music Direction by Jeanne Bilyeu and Choreography by Jerry Wiesenhahn.
