Guys and Dolls A Musical Fable of Broadway | Based on a Story and Characters of Damon Runyon
Music and Lyrics by Frank Loesser | Book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows
April 25-28, 2024 | Arts Court Theatre (2 Daly Avenue) Evening Shows at 8:00pm | Doors at 7:30 | Afternoon Shows at 2:00pm | Doors at 1:30
Step into the bustling streets of New York City in the golden era of the 1950s, where the worlds of high-rolling gamblers and charming missionaries collide in the sensational musical, Guys and Dolls!
LBMT proudly presents this Tony Award-winning classic, filled with toe-tapping tunes, witty humor, and a heartwarming story that will sweep you off your feet. Join us on a whirlwind adventure that follows the lives of two unlikely couples, each on a quest for love and redemption.
Meet Nathan Detroit, a loveable but scheming gambler, desperate to find a secret location for his infamous “floating crap game.” To secure the funds he needs, he bets the charismatic and suave Sky Masterson that he can’t woo the pious and dedicated Sarah Brown, a Salvation Army sergeant, to join him for a night out in Havana. The stakes are high as Sky takes the bet, not knowing that he may find more than just a simple conquest in Sarah.
Meanwhile, Miss Adelaide, Nathan’s long-suffering fiancée of 14 years, dreams of settling down and finally having a “normal” life with him. But when her chronic cold worsens due to the stress of their relationship, she begins to question whether this big-time gambler will ever truly change.
Filled with unforgettable melodies like “Luck Be a Lady,” “Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ the Boat,” and “Adelaide’s Lament,” Guys and Dolls is a true musical treasure that celebrates the power of love and the triumph of the human spirit.
Join us for a dazzling afternoon or evening of song, dance, and laughter as these colourful characters navigate the highs and lows of romance, loyalty, and the irresistible allure of the Big Apple. With its delightful charm and timeless appeal, Guys and Dolls is a must-see theatrical experience that will leave you humming its tunes long after the final curtain falls.
Tickets Are $30 in Advance | $35 at the Door | General Admission

This two-day workshop is meant to inspire creators to seek out new methods of storytelling that better leverage emerging technologies. Through a combination of theory presentation, case studies, group/individual activities, and discussion, we will explore the core facets of spatial storytelling and learn how to apply them in your writing process.
Interest in immersive storytelling is in a resurgence not seen since the heyday of transmedia, brought about—in no small part—thanks to advances in technology. With the advent of 360° filmmaking, AR/VR, and spatial computing, storytellers face new challenges in creating content that resonates with their audience. Tackling these unknowns is exciting and can lead to innovations in storytelling – and a solid understanding of what differentiates this new frontier from traditional media will benefit creators immensely.
Come out and celebrate the start of our fifth season with an evening of poetry, prose, music and film. The concept of this iteration builds from the importance of family in Asian cultures, the tensions between blood family and the family we come to choose.
This May, Ellen Chang-Richardson brings together two creators from the pan-Asian diaspora and two creators, not, whose works deal with the notion of family — roots, lineages and futures — to deepen and expand this conversation of intersectional familial relationships and the boundaries, blurred and distinct, between eastern and western understandings.
Wayne Ng and Jean Van Loon will present in-person readings, ViNa will stream in with a live performance from Treaty 6 and 7 territories, and we will screen Desmond Simon's Mitata | Grandfather followed by a live Q&A via video stream.

Voyage, voyage... Plus loin que la nuit et le jour ! “ Ces mots pourraient à eux seuls résumer l’art et la manière du groupe. Tel un passeur de rêves affranchis des codes, Taqsim Driver déploie une passerelle imaginaire entre tradition et modernité. S'inspirant de musiques rares et ancestrales (dabké libanais, tallava albanais ou mugham azérie...), ajoutant par touches finement dosées des samples d’instruments traditionnels (derbuka, le kerkabou, saz...) Taqsim Driver ravive la flamme de ces musiques et les fait renaître dans une fusion subtile avec les musiques actuelles (Dance, Trap, Rap ...) Une énergie communicative et tellurique entre Omar Souleyman, 47Soul et d’innombrables groupes de mariage à l’orée de notre vieille Europe. De continent en continent, le groupe invite au voyage et à la découverte dans une transe énergique et joyeuse. Créé par les musiciens de Fanfare Couche-Tard qui ont tourné pendant 15 ans en Europe, Inde, Maroc et Afrique du Sud, Taqsim Driver sort ses premiers clips et singles en 2023 et entame une tournée passant par Le Canada et l’Europe au printemps 2024.
