Costume Designer Sue LePage sat down to chat with us about her ideas for the style of Guys and Dolls. She shares some clever insights on her design process and influences. We’ve put it in a handy little video for you to watch.

So if you haven’t seen Guys and Dolls yet, enjoy the preview and if you have, then come back and see it again … as one Trip Advisor reviewer recommends: “If you can only see two shows this year, see this one twice – once for the crown jewels and once for the uncut gems.” – Trip Advisor review, May 2013

It’s set in a kind of magical apartment building where the water
has stopped running and five residents from the east and west
cross paths on a hot and enchanted evening. What starts out as
an ordinary night for the residents of the building and the
superintendent becomes a mystical night that ends with a genie
in a bottle and a possible murder.

September 15 11:30am
