For as long as anyone can recall, the Old Man’s sole duty has been to fill the leaking moon with liquid light. But when his wife is drawn away by a mysterious song, he must abandon his post to cross the globe and find her. Along the way, he encounters chaotic sailors, apocalyptic storms, giant sea monsters, and a world falling into darkness without its moon. Told through rich folk music, creative shadow puppetry, and vibrant ensemble storytelling, The Old Man and the Old Moon is a breathtaking adventure about memory, love, and the enduring power of a good story.

GUYS AND DOLLS
Anderson Theatre
May 1-3
Anderson High School

Directed by Chad Weddle

Considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy, Guys and Dolls ran for 1,200 performances when it opened on Broadway in 1950. Set in a mythical version of Prohibition-era Manhattan, the story follows gambler  Nathan Detroit as he tries to find the cash to set up the biggest game in town while the authorities breathe down his neck. Throw in Adelaide, Nathan’s fiancee for fourteen years, high roller Sky Masterson, and the straight-laced missionary, Sarah Brown, and you have a night of musical high jinks and hilarity that will delight young and old.
