Set in Damon Runyon's mythical New York City, 鈥淕uys and Dolls鈥� is an oddball romantic comedy.

鈥淕uys and Dolls鈥� takes the audience 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.

鈥淥ne of my goals at the College is to give our students the opportunity to perform the great dramatic works that have been created. 鈥淕uys and Dolls鈥� is a classic that has been called a perfect musical comedy. It gives our students an opportunity to create interesting characters, practice comic timing and sing great music.

鈥淲e are also collaborating with the music department and will have an excellent student orchestra in the pit led by James Bishop. Dr. Robert Lamb is the vocal director, and his madrigal ensemble will enhance our vocal ensemble.鈥�
