Our Lady of the Valley presents Guys and Dolls, Jr.

Our Lady of the Valley School’s drama department is putting Guys and Dolls on stage.

All the gamblers are in town, and they're all depending on Nathan Detroit to set up this week's incarnation of “The Oldest Established Permanent Floating Crap Game in New York." Detroit’s problem is he needs $1,000 to get the place.

That’s where Sarah Brown enters, the owner of a mission called Sky Masterson. There’s also Miss Adelaide who wants Detroit to marry her and Lieutenant Brannigan who always seems to appear at the wrong time.

The cast features about ninety performers from first to eighth grade and is directed by Michael R. Bridges.

“This show is classic Broadway all the way,” Bridges said.  “The music is catchy and classic and the story is truly funny. It is one of those great shows where the audiences have several ‘oh, yeah’ moments when they realize they know the songs.”

Opening night is Friday, Nov. 7 at 7 p.m. with additional showings Nov. 8 at 5:30 p.m. and Nov. 9 at 2 p.m. The performances will be in the OLV Family Life Center (gymnasium) at 5510 Double Oak Lane at the corner of Cahaba Valley Road and Caldwell Mill Road.

Tickets will be available at the door or reserve your ticket by contacting Melanie Norman at melanie@thenormanclan.com.  For more information, call 991-5963, ext. 239 or visit olvbirmingham.com.
