‘Guys & Dolls’
Students of Mitchell District
High School will be presenting the
popular Broadway musical ‘‘Guys
and Dolls” on April 5, 6, and 7
under the direction of Brussels
based actress Donna Faron.
Ms. Faron is an accomplished
actress having worked in theatres
across Canada including, Blyth,
Stratford, and Vancouver Play
house. She has done several com
mercials and has performed in both
the television and film media. She
has had some directing experience
in the past, though this is the first
time tor Mitchell students.
‘‘Guys and Dolls” was produced
on Broadway during the 1950’s
originally starring Marlon Brando,
Frank Sinatra and Jean Simmons
and Ms. Faron describes it as a
double love story with one unfold
ing between a gambler and an
innocent young girl in the Salvation
Army band and another between a
crap shooter and his chorus girl
girlfriend.
‘‘We are keeping the play set in
the ‘50’s and the kids are really
enthusiastic,’’ she says. “There is
a cast of about 30 and they ajp
involved in every aspect of the
production, from lighting and
sound, to props and costumes, in
addition to performing. They are
doing a great job.”
Admission to “Guys and Dolls”
is $6 for adults and $5 for students.
