Gamblers and the Salvation Army will take over High School North on Saturday, March 3, at 8 p.m. when “Guys and Dolls” opens for a two-weekend run. The musical tells the tale of Nathan Detroit, the organizer of the oldest established permanent floating crap game in New York, who bets fellow gambler Sky Masterson that he can’t make the next girl he sees fall in love with him.##M:[more]##
