Set in Damon Runyon's mythical New York City, Guys and Dolls is an oddball romantic comedy - considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy. It soars with the spirit of Broadway as it introduces us to a cast of vivid characters: Sarah Brown, the upright but uptight 'mission doll' and Sky Masterson, the slick, high-rolling gambler who would bet on anything that would turn him a profit - until he meets his match in Sarah. We also meet the chronically ill Adelaide and Nathan Detroit, her devoted fiance, desperate as always to find a spot for his infamous floating crap game.

Opening Friday, May 22 (preview Thursday, May 21) at 8:00 p.m. and performing through Sunday, June 6 at the 78th Street Theatre LAB, The Secretaries, originally written and performed by the award-winning New York theatre troupe The Five Lesbian Brothers, irreverently and unapologetically explores the ever-expanding human fascination with sex and violence, the journey from self-improvement to self-destruction and the question of what it means to be ?strong? women in a modern world.
