Backed by a student and staff band lead by musical director David Shaw, the group will take its audience on a trip into the underworld of gambler Nathan Detroit, played by Jaydh Gounden.

Drama, history, English and dance teacher Wendy Campbell, who takes producer and director credits, has worked with the students since auditions early in term four last year.

Mrs Campbell said the students have given up lunch times and hours after school to bring the show to the Orange Civic Theatre in March.

Guys and Dolls will be performed on the evening of March 22 and a matinee and evening show the following day. 

It is open to the public and tickets are available through Ticketek.
