Guys
and Dolls opens with largest cast on ACHS stage
  One
of the largest casts ever at ACHS takes the stage this week for the spring
musical production of Guys and Dolls. The 77 on-stage performers
are supported by a 23-piece pit band as well as backstage directors and
crew.
One thing audience
members may note is the number of new faces in the cast. “We’ve
never had this many guys audition,” said director Wanda Teddy. She
noted that many students recruited from athletics and dance auditioned after
being encouraged to give it a shot.
The story takes
place in New York, where a couple of gamblers, needing a place to hold a
craps game, bet on whether one of them can get a woman to have dinner with
him in Hanava, Cuba. The production features 32 musical numbers and “a
lot of fun,” according to Teddy.
Dylan Zobel, Heather
Bednar, Scott Segel (pictured above), and Lindsay Unick star under the direction
of Teddy and stage manager Greg Geddes. Dance team coach Kelly Taylor serves
as choreographer, assisted by Miranda Linco.
Performances are
at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and at 2 p.m. on Sunday. Reserved
seating is $5 for students and senior citizens, $7 for the general public.
Seats can be reserved by buying tickets in the main office or calling 847-395-1421,
extension 9370. |
