Director Greg Morton

Considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy, Guys and Dolls ran for 1,200 performances when it opened on Broadway in 1950. It received nearly unanimous positive reviews from critics and won a bevy of awards, including Tony Awards, Drama Desks and Oliviers. Frequently revived, the show has been done with numerous all-star casts, including productions/concerts featuring Ewan McGregor, Jane Krakowski, Brian Stokes Mitchell and Jessica Biel.

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 cafes of Havana, Cuba, and even into the sewers of New York City, but eventually everyone ends up right where they belong.
Frank Loesser's brassy, immortal score makes Guys and Dolls a crowd pleaser. The large cast features both a variety of ensemble and star roles. With a great collection of production resources from MTI, this highly producible show is a treat for audiences and performers of any age.

Friends of Forge

Join us as a Patron for our 58th Season (2019-2020)

We have made many exciting and long-standing improvements to our facility this past year. Most notably we replaced our roof and portico, the air-conditioning system, improved the heating, and upgraded the wiring throughout the building. Without your loyal support, none of that would have been possible. We still need your help to defray those costs and continue to improve Forge’s infrastructure.

This season, we are especially proud of the quality and variety of play selections being offered this year including three musicals: Head Over Heels, A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder, and Guys and Dolls. To complete this season with two riveting, heart warming productions of Calendar Girls and 33 Variations and a very funny comedy The Man Who Came to Dinner .

We look forward to seeing you, hearing from you, and partnering with you in our live, affordable, family theatre in the Phoenixville area. We are hoping for your generous support as a patron for the upcoming 2019-2020 season.
