[edit] Director's Notes
The cast and crews have worked hard and exhibited the drive to produce a musical of this magnitude. This is a HUGE show. Through their devotion and love of Damon Runyon's magical fable of Broadway, the stage comes to life tonight. It's impossible to tally up the time and commitment that goes into a production of this size. So many lives are involved and so much energy is spent. As we bring to life the classic characters of Guys & Dolls, we'll show our talents of course. But what you won't see is how much we've grown inside. We're better at planning, more responsible, understand what it really means to be a team player, and know what if feels like to pour you heart and soul into something. What a great playground for the students as they prepare to move into the next phase of their lives.

Revolves from Hell
One of most challenging design elements of the Guys and Dolls set were the revolving platforms. The design went right up to the limits of what could be achieved with the type and quality of materials that were available. It seemed for a while like the revolves were cursed. The DSL revolve has to be moved twice to get it into the final position. Casters had to be changed out. The porch design didn't stabilize the revolve wall enough, and the initial braking scheme allowed too much movement. The porches themselves were assembled incorrectly and had to be taken down and reworked. But finally, the revolves were in the right place,and a solution that fixed both the stability and braking problems was designed and implemented. The revolves went on to steal the show technically, as the crew became experts at quickly and smoothly rotating them. Al
