FHS Drama to present "Guys and Dolls"

Franklin High School Drama Club will present “Guys and Dolls” on April 17, 18 (7 p.m.), and 19 (2 p.m.) Tickets are on sale now at fhsdrama.booktix.com and will be available at the door. All performances will be in the McDade Auditorium, 750 E. 4th St., Franklin.

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 and nightclub performer, Adelaide, laments that they've been engaged for fourteen years. Nathan turns to fellow gambler, Sky Masterson, for the dough, and Sky ends up chasing the strait-laced missionary, Sarah Brown, as a result. "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.
