The Educational Theater Collaborative is in final rehearsals for “Guys & Dolls,” a classic Broadway musical that opens Wednesday, Jan. 18, for a six-show run through Sunday, Jan. 22, at Plymouth’s Flying Monkey Performance Center.
The show, which premiered on Broadway in 1950, has a script that still sparkles and music that never fails to move and entertain. Its colorful characters are a mix of high-rolling crap shooters, low-life racetrack denizens, high-kicking chorus girls and a band of missionaries determined to convince them to forswear their sinful ways.
Trish Lindberg, producing artistic director of the Educational Theater Collaborative, programmed "G&D" for the group’s 28th season because of the show’s matchless collection of characters.
“I love love love the characters!” she said. “They’re so full of life, so authentic. This show has such a big heart!"
The ETC, based at Plymouth State University, has earned a reputation for top-level musical productions that bring together professional-level talent and community thespians of all ages, from pre-teens to septuagenarians.
Evening performances are at 7 p.m. on Wednesday through Saturday, Jan. 18-22. Matinees are at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 21, and Sunday, Jan. 22. The production is co-sponsored by Plymouth State University and the Common Man Family of Restaurants. Tickets are available for online purchase at FlyingMonkeyNH.com.
