Guys and Dolls

Guys and Dolls at OneAmerica Mainstage - Indiana Repertory Theater

The stakes in Guys and Dolls aren't only on the dice. They're in the hearts of the people throwing them. Others are made with the heart, and in Guys and Dolls, both can land you in trouble. On April 24, 2027, at 8:00 PM, Indiana Repertory Theater's OneAmerica Mainstage in Indianapolis turns into a New York of gamblers, missionaries and big romantic mistakes. If you want a night out that feels playful, quick-witted and a little dangerous, this is the one.

The story pulls you in fast. One gambler chases a missionary on a wager. Another dodges marriage to his long-engaged fiancée while scrambling to keep a dice game running. Two love stories collide with two very practical problems, and nobody gets to stay comfortable. The best part is the clash of worlds: the gambling crowd on one side, the missionary's convictions on the other. That tension is where the comedy lives, and where the heart sneaks in.

Behind it all stands a classic team. Damon Runyon's stories and characters inspired the show, Frank Loesser wrote the music and lyrics, and Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows wrote the book. On this IRT production, Lili-Anne Brown directs, Breon Arzell handles choreography and Andra Velis Simon leads the music. Give them a story built on bold bets and big feelings, then talk about it all the way home. Make your plans now and reserve your seats for Guys and Dolls in Indianapolis.
