Guys and Dolls

Guys and Dolls at OneAmerica Mainstage - Indiana Repertory Theater

A bet. A dice game that refuses to sit still. Guys and Dolls turns those ingredients into a night of romantic trouble, and on April 8, 2027, it takes over the OneAmerica Mainstage at Indiana Repertory Theater in Indianapolis. If your calendar has been short on laughs and long on routine, this is a smart way to change that.

The story is pure New York mischief. One gambler pursues a missionary because of a wager. Another dodges marriage to his long-engaged fiancée while scrambling to keep a dice game running. Two worlds collide: the gambling crowd and a woman whose convictions don't bend easily. Every scheme creates a new problem, and every problem lands someone in a romantic corner. You'll root for the unlikely pairings, grin at the bad decisions and enjoy watching people who think they have it all figured out discover they don't.

Behind it all is a classic pedigree: Damon Runyon's stories and characters, music and lyrics by Frank Loesser, and a book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows. That's a creative team shaping the story, the movement and the music right here in town. Bring a date, a friend or the person who always says they never go to the theater. Then let a golden-age musical comedy do the convincing. Pick your night, secure your seats for Guys and Dolls in Indianapolis, and roll the dice on a great evening out.
