Sit down, you're rocking the boat It's showtime for Guys and Dolls, Maine South's Spring musical. Work began on this musical months ago, with a cast, crew, orchestra and production staff putting in many hours of planning, designing, building and rehearsing

Based on Damon Runyon's short story with music by Frank Loesser, Guys and Dolls is a story of luck, love, deceit and happy endings with a little dice thrown in on the side. Lead roles are played by Lisa Lutzer and Joe Pindelski as Sarah Brown an Sky Masterson; and by Kathy Alexan-

der and Todd Herring as Adelaide and Nathan Detroit. The cast is filled with a myriad of other very colorful characters. Speaking of colorful, this year's set and costume design promise to be eye-catching. Painting head Kevin Byrne said, "The set has a cartoonish feel, with bright colors and warped buildings. And," he added, "the women are hot, hot, hot!" Other crew heads are Jessie Rumczikas and Kelly Nickele, construction; Alison Adlaf and Jenny Chrzanowski, costumes; Kenny Lindgren, lights, Chris Nuzzo and Maggie Hadam, props; and Roberta Andresen, sound. Joe Kazmierski is designing lights for the show. Guys and Dolls is directed by Mr. John Muszynski. When asked why he choose this musical, he said, "Critics have called it

th perfect musical, and we felt it was right for the group of students we have." Other staff members involved are Mr. Pat Sanchez, technical director; Mr. David Danckwart, music director; Mr. Keith Elliot, choreographer; Mr. Michael Pressler, conductor; Mrs. Krista Clarke, make-up coordinator; and Mrs. Laurie McCleneghan, costumer. Lisa Brodsky is the student director, Lara Anderson stage manager, and Megan Tucker assistant stage manager. The show is also helped by a small army of drama boosters who have moved the production along in several areas. Guys and Dolls will be performed in the Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. tonight and 29, May 5 and 6; and at 2:00 p.m. on April 30. All tickets are $5 and may be purchased at the door. Seating is reserved.
