BW Drama presents Guys and Dolls

By AMANDA DRAKE

For The Sun­bury News

Big Wal­nut High School’s pro­duc­tion of the musi­cal Guys and Dolls is cur­rently in rehearsal and on its way to becom­ing a local hit. With actors Josh Schirtzinger as Sky Mas­ter­son, Alli­son Daw­son as Sarah Brown, Thomas Hamann play­ing Nathan Detroit and Olivia Beck­ett as the lovely Ade­laide, the show is bound to bring the late 1940’s and early 50’s swing­ing back to Sun­bury with style.

The clas­sic show, writ­ten by Frank Loesser and based on Abe Bur­rows’ and Joe Swerling’s book The Idyll of Miss Sarah Brown, is the tale of New York’s gam­bling under­world and an unex­pected love encounter between an uptight Sal­va­tion Army woman and one of the most noto­ri­ous gam­blers of the era.

You’ll see com­edy from Nathan’s loyal pals Nicely-Nicely John­son (Kaden Thomp­son), Benny South­street (Nick Guglielmi) and Rusty Char­lie (James Sawyers); enter­tain­ment from Miss Ade­laide and her hot­box debu­tants; and famil­iar songs such as Bushel and a Peck and Luck be a Lady.

Grab your favorite guy or doll and head on down to Big Wal­nut High School on Feb­ru­ary 21, 22 and 23 to get in on the action.

Tick­ets will be avail­able at the door start­ing at 6 p.m. for $8 gen­eral admis­sion and $5 for stu­dents and senior citizens.

The doors open at 7 p.m. so hurry down and claim your seats.

Guys and Dolls is the sec­ond high school pro­duc­tion the Drama Club is stag­ing this school year. A third pro­duc­tion, the musi­cal God­spell, will take to the stage on March 21, 22 and 23.

Hope to see you there.
