Spring Show
Guys and Dolls
Music and Lyrics by Frank Loesser, book by Abe Burrows and Jo Swerling. Based on a story and characters by Damon Runyon.
All bets are on, as the Guys and Dolls of Damon Runyon’s story beat the odds from Noo Yawk to Cuba and back. This classic of the American theater sparkles with the music and lyrics of the brilliant Frank Loesser, with timeless tunes like, “Luck, Be a Lady,” “Bushel and a Peck,” “If I were a Bell,” and, of course, the get-up-outta-your-seat rouser, “Sit Down You’re Rocking the Boat.” Keep an eye on your wallet (and your heart) and join the gang in one of the happiest hoohahs ever!

The North Shore Theater of Wilmette, began 62 years ago as the Wilmette Little Theater. One of the founding members was Hugh Downs, and we proudly count Mike Nussbaum, Michael Maggio, and Robert Urich as our talented alumni. Our memorable theatrical moments include presentations of A Midsummer's Night Dream and Twelfth Night, the first theatrical productions staged at the Wallace Bowl in Gillson Park. Audience demands for lighter fare launched us into producing musicals, and to this day we continue to present a mix of shows to enthusiastic and critical approval.
Our primary goal remains to offer quality community-based theater to our audience. We are constantly seeking the highest caliber stage directors, musical directors, choreographers, and technical staff to ensure the high quality theater you, our audience, deserve.
