Guys & Dolls
–
@ Redhouse Arts Center
Music and Lyrics by Frank Loesser
Book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows
Based on a Story and Characters of Damon Runyon
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 straight-laced missionary, Sarah Brown, as a result. Guys and Dolls takes us from the heart of Times Square to the cafés of Havana, Cuba, and even to the sewers of New York City, but eventually everyone ends up right where they belong.

The Motherf**ker with the Hat
–
@ Redhouse Arts Center
By Stephen Adly Guirgis
Struggles with addiction, friendship, love, and the challenges of adulthood are at the center of the story. Jackie, a petty drug dealer, is just out of prison and trying to stay clean. He’s also still in love with his coke-addicted childhood sweetheart, Veronica. Ralph D. is Jackie’s too-smooth, slightly slippery sponsor. He’s married to the bitter and disaffected Victoria, who, by the way, has the hots for Jackie. And then there’s Julia, Jackie’s cousin … a stand-up, “stand by me” kind of guy. Join us for the CNY premiere of this 6-time Tony Award nominee, including best play.

Da
–
@ Redhouse Arts Center
By Hugh Leonard
Presented in association with 5 for the Show
In this Tony award winner for best play, middle-aged assimilated American Charlie returns home to his native Dublin to sort through and come to terms with his relationship to this thoroughly beguiling, maddening presence in his life: “Da.” Reminiscence gives way to memory and illusion as an adolescent “Charlie Then” is brought back form the past, while the man who is “Charlie Now” grapples with his own mortality, and the part of his life that will always be the irascible “Da.”
