Prepare to step into this world of wonder where wishing is only the beginning and dreams really do come true!  Where evil turns to goodness and true love conquers all.  Where three fairies take us on a spellbinding journey that will captivate audiences with so much heart, humor, fun and adventure, as we dream with our princess and cheer for our heroes.  You will be genuinely moved by this dynamic story filled with wonderful music, stunning costumes and glittering special effects, as we bring this purely magical experience to life!

GREENS FARMS ACADEMY PRESENTS Guys and Dolls March 2 Through March 4 at the Westport Country Playhouse.
Considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy, Guys and Dolls takes place in Damon Runyon’s mythical New York City. The characters have become part of theatre lore: Sarah Brown, the upright but uptight "mission doll," out to reform the evildoers of Time Square; Sky Masterson, the slick, high-rolling gambler who woos her on a bet and ends up falling in love; Adelaide, the chronically ill nightclub performer whose condition is brought on by the fact she's been engaged to the same man for 14 years; and Nathan Detroit, her devoted fiancé, desperate as always to find a spot for his infamous floating crap game.

Everything works out in the end, as we travel from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana, Cuba, and even into the sewers of New York City. Funny and romantic, Guys and Dolls is ideal for audiences and performers of any age.

Be sure to check the links for the performance details.
