Guys and Dolls Ford's Theatre presents a new production of the classic American musical Guys and Dolls. Set in Depression-era Times Square, the musical comedy is about two big city gamblers and the women who love them. High-roller Sky Masterson falls in love with and pursues mission worker Sarah Brown. Nathan Detroit pursues venues for his floating craps game and continues to avoid marrying Miss Adelaide, his fiancé of 14 years and a showgirl at a nightclub. Miscommunication and comedy ensue. See this production through May 20. Photo by Scott Suchman.
