A MUSICAL- IN A CHURCH
All Saints Church in Manasas, the largest Catholic Church in Virginia http://www.allsaintsvachurch.org/which has a youth ministry theatre program is putting on the classic GUYS AND DOLLS and it is spectacular- as good as anything you would see on broadway and I expect that is where some of the cast is headed- especially that Sky Masterson character who is the son of a rather famous international attorney (he may be more famous internationally for his work freeing Italian hostages from Somali pirates).
It is led by a guy who has a spectacular theatrical voice, and who actually was a real 'clown' for Barnum Bailey Ringling Brothers and a graduate of a Clown College.
The program is called the Upper Room Theatre Ministries
and it presents...
A MUSICAL FABLE OF BROADWAY
Based on a story and characters by Damon Runyon
Music & Lyrics by Frank Loesser
Book by Joe Swerling and Abe Burrows
You will recognize the songs- ear worms some might say- Take Back Your Mink, Take Back Your Pearls, Sit Down Sit Down You're Rockin the Boat, etc. The sets are fantastic. The choreography enchanting. The characters lovable.

Oh- and the part of the Mission Priest is played convincingly by a real Priest. Talk about method acting! I think he borrowed the vestments right from the rectory. Didn't need the constume budget for that one.
