Guys and Dolls is a Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning musical based on the short stories of Damon Runyon. It is set in the 1950s and follows the adventures of a group of gamblers and hot box dancers with Sergeant Sarah Brown and the Salvation Army working to save the souls of these shifty characters. Music and Lyrics are by Frank Loesser and the book is written by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows. With memorable songs such as Fugue for Tinhorns, Luck Be a Lady, Miss Adelaides Lament, Bushel and a Peck, Sit Down, Youre Rocking the Boat and the Title song Guys and Dolls, this show is sure to be a colorful romp through the New York underworld and back.
About the director, Bryn Harris
Bryn Harris has been dancing since she was 3 years old. Traveling from small town Gualala, to New York City, she made her mark at a number of companies including the Pacific Conservatory of the Performing Arts, where she received the Kristy Scholarship for Musical Theater.
Bryn was the choreographer for the world premiere musical One, which went on to tour 13 countries. She has spent years contributing to both sides of the table as performer and choreographer for Summer Repertory Theater and PCPA Theatrefests productions of Beauty and The Beast, Oliver, Annie, and Into the Woods. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Directing from University North Carolina School of The Arts where she worked with Gerald Freedman on the 50th anniversary of West Side Story and Sunday in the Park with George.
Bryn recently returned to PCPA as a guest artist, teaching a semester of movement training. She also choreographed The Wizard of OZ with 150 puppets ranging in heights from less than a foot tall as actors stood in trap doors in the stage (Munchkins), to over 29 feet tall (Winkies). For this show, Bryn won the Allan Hancock Musical Theater Award for outstanding originality and choreographic design.
Bryn returned to Gualala in 2010 and has been part of several local productions as choreographer, performer and/or director. Recent productions include Of the I Sing, Jekyll and Hyde the Musical, Honk! and her one-woman Valentines show in 2014. Bryn says she is thrilled to have the opportunity to give Musical Theater back to the community. This will be her directing debut at Gualala Arts Center.
