Guys and Dolls

Guys and Dolls at OneAmerica Mainstage - Indiana Repertory Theater

A bet starts it all. One gambler wagers he can win over a missionary, and suddenly a New York dice game, a long-delayed wedding and a very serious set of convictions are all colliding. That's the fun of Guys and Dolls at the OneAmerica Mainstage in Indianapolis, where Indiana Repertory Theatre's local production plays April 7–May 9, 2027. The April 7 performance begins at 6:30 PM.

Here's what makes the story so irresistible: nobody wants the same thing. One man chases a woman whose principles couldn't be further from his world. Another dodges marriage to his fiancée of ages while scrambling to keep a floating dice game alive. Romance and hustle trip over each other. Based on Damon Runyon's stories and characters, with a book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows, this is musical comedy built on charm, nerve and bad timing. You'll lean in to see who gets caught first.

Frank Loesser wrote the music and lyrics, and that songwriting is a big reason to see this show live in a theater instead of imagining it at home. Director Lili-Anne Brown, choreographer Breon Arzell and music director Andra Velis Simon lead the creative team, giving this Indianapolis staging a hometown spark. Bring a friend, a date or someone who loves a good classic. Plan your night out and grab your seats for Guys and Dolls at Indiana Repertory Theatre before the dice start rolling.
