Guys and Dolls

Guys and Dolls at OneAmerica Mainstage - Indiana Repertory Theater

New York's gamblers think they know every angle—until love changes the odds. Others are made with your heart. Guys and Dolls lands on the OneAmerica Mainstage at Indiana Repertory Theater in Indianapolis on May 4, 2027, at 6:30 PM, and it puts both gambles on the table in one irresistible New York story.

Here is the setup. One gambler chases a missionary because of a wager. Another dodges marriage to his long-engaged fiancée while he scrambles to keep a dice game running. Nothing about these plans stays tidy. Love and hustle collide, and the fun comes from watching clever people get tangled in their own schemes. The gambling world and the missionary's convictions pull in opposite directions, and that tension gives this musical comedy its spark. You'll laugh at the predicaments, then catch yourself rooting for the people stuck in them.

There's real craft behind the night, too. Locally, Lili-Anne Brown directs, Breon Arzell handles choreography and Andra Velis Simon leads the music. That is a team shaping this story for an Indianapolis stage, in IRT's own production running April 7 through May 9, 2027. If you want a night out built on romance, comic trouble and classic musical-theatre storytelling, this is a smart place to land. Choose your seats for Guys and Dolls in Indianapolis and bring someone who loves a good story.
