Midcoast Youth Theater will present the oddball romantic comedy “Guys and Dolls,” performed by a singing and dancing cast of local teens, beginning Thursday at the Orion Performing Arts Center, 50 Republic Ave.

Curtain times are 7 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, July 27, and at 2 p.m. on Saturday, July 28.

A Midcoast Youth Theater release describes the production as follows:

This old favorite is brought to life by Greg Kritzman as Nathan Detroit, the proprietor of an infamous floating craps game; his nightclub performer fiancée of 14 years, Miss Adelaide, played by Annabelle Gardiner; and Joshua Guerrette as Sky Masterson, the gambler who on a bet attempts to woo pious Sarah Brown of the Save-a-Soul Mission. Julia Nadeau portrays Brown.

Love ensues as the setting moves from New York City to Havana and back to New York.

Mike Schuman as Nicely-Nicely and other local teen performers round out the cast.

Music and lyrics are by Frank Loesser.

The production is directed by Michael Millett, with choreography and costuming by Linda Gardiner, and musical direction by Courtney Babbidge. Andrew Wyman is the student director.

Tickets cost $10 for adults or $8 students and seniors. They are available at the door and online at www.brownpapertickets.com/event/ 259092.
