Set in the late 1800’s in England, young countryman Jack Worthing has decided to propose to the love of his life Gwendoline. The only problem is that she knows him by a false name: Ernest. Before he has a chance to come clean on the name Gwendoline reveals that she only ever truly love someone with the name Ernest. Jack then decides that the only way to win his true love is to head back to his estate and receive a new christening under the name Ernest. Things get complicated, high jinks ensue and a lot of fun is to be had in one of the greatest comedy of manners ever written!

PARENTAL GUIDANCE: This is NOT your kids fairy tale! This play contains mature content and themes.

The fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm are turned on their heads in this fast-paced, rollicking ride as two narrators and several actors attempt to combine all 209 stories ranging from classics like Snow White, Cinderella, and Hansel and Gretel to more bizarre, obscure stories like The Devil’s Grandmother and The Girl Without Hands. A wild, free-form comedy with lots of audience participation and madcap fun.

Guys and Dolls
May 27 – June 25, 2016
Directed by Debbie Barber-Eaton
Choreographed by Andrew Gordon

2nd Star Productions at the Bowie Playhouse

Guys and Dolls is a musical romantic comedy involving the unlikeliest of Manhattan pairings: a high-rolling gambler and a puritanical missionary, a showgirl dreaming of the straight-and-narrow and a crap game manager who is anything but. The show takes us from the bustle of Times Square to the dance clubs of Havana to the sewers of New York City as it demonstrates the great lengths to which a guy will go when he truly falls in love with a “doll.” Guys and Dolls features some of Frank Loesser’s most memorable tunes, including the hilarious “Adelaide’s Lament,” the romantic “I’ll Know When My Love Comes Along,” the exuberant “If I Were a Bell,” and the classic “Luck be a Lady.”

May 27 through June 25, 2016
Fri and Sat at 8 PM, Sun at 3 PM
Closing performance Saturday, June 25th at 3 PM
