'Guys and Dolls' hits stage

LANGLEY - D.W. Poppy Secondary musical theatre students have done well-known shows like Legally Blonde and unique productions such as Honk.

 

"It was time to do a classic, and Guys and Dolls was the perfect fit," said teacher Amber Blount.

 

The school is staging the Damon Runyon-inspired tale of gangsters and gals from March 4 to 7. Blount said the script works well because it means good parts for many characters, including the many boys wanting to be part of musical theatre. "It is always fun to do a period piece because the students are able to learn about another era and way of life," she added. "We always have the students do a research assignment at the beginning of the year in order to help them better understand the story," Blount explained.
