Guys and Dolls" is a classic musical that combines romance, comedy, and touch of gambling. Set in the vibrant streets of New York City during the1950s, it follows the lives of gamblers, showgirls, and the people who love them. The story revolves around a high-stakes bet that leads to unexpected love and friendship, featuring memorable songs like "Luck Be a Lady" and "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat." It's a delightful exploration of life, love, and the allure of chance.

It also crosses many locations, times of day, and has big numbers which require big set pieces. We sought to evoke the streets to 1950s New York with a walkable billboard frame, a rolling mission unit and news stand in forced perspective, and two billboards around 12'x30'. This show challenged me to grow immensely and pushed my rigging, carpentry, and leadership skills to a whole new level.
