Guys and Dolls Shake Up the Wallis
 You're in luck! The Broadway classic Guys and Dolls takes the stage December 1-20 at The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts.
Set in New York, Guys and Dolls is a delightful musical fable based on Damon Runyon's fond stories of gangsters, gamblers and showgirls. The bad guys aren't really dangerous, the dolls have superhuman patience, and what everybody wants deep down inside is to reform and lead respectable lives.
Put your money on this hilarious classic, performed by The Oregon Shakespeare Festival and directed by Tony Award-winner Mary Zimmerman.
Great comedy and classic songs, including "Luck Be a Lady Tonight," make Guys and Dolls an odds-on favorite to please the entire family.
