Music in the Library presents 'Guys and Dolls' preview Thursday

Music in the Library will present a musical preview of the upcoming College of St. Catherine-University of St. Thomas production of "Guys and Dolls" from noon to 1 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 28, in the O'Shaughnessy ("leather") Room of the O'Shaughnessy-Frey Library Center.

Bring your lunch; light refreshments will be provided.

Members of the cast, under the direction of UST alumnus Gregg Sawyer and Rob Strusinski, assistant professor of music and founder and director of the Liturgical Choir, will perform a number of selections by Frank Loesser from this award-winning Broadway musical. Based on short stories by Damon Runyon, the plot depicts the lives of lovers, gamblers and a Salvation Army-style mission on the gritty streets of mid-20th century New York.

Note that the show will run from Wednesday to Sunday, March 5-9, in Foley Theater on the St. Paul campus.

Music in the Library provides opportunities for musicians in the UST community to perform in an informal, friendly atmosphere. Any student, faculty or staff member who is interested in participating in future musical offerings should contact Cathy Lutz, (651) 962-5459, or Conie Borchardt, (651) 962-6874.
