Our production takes place in 1945-1948 in Runyonland-Damon Runyon's Broadway.
At the start of the show we see missionaries attempting to convert the lost souls of
Broadway-gamblers. Four problems are introduced-where to hold Nathan Detroit's floating crap game, how to
bring sinners into the mission, how to get a straight-laced missionary to agree to go to Havana, and will
Nathan and Adelaide finally get married. The solutions to these problems are all intermingled. To
get the money to pay for a place to hold his crap game, Nathan bets Sky Masterson $1000 he can't bring
missionary, Sarah Brown, to Havana. Sky convinces Sarah to go to Havana in exchange for sinners for her
mission. With Sky and Sarah off to Havana, Nathan loses the bet, but finds an empty place to hold his
crap game-the Save-A-Soul Mission. The relationship between Sky and Sarah blossoms in Havana, and
they find themselves falling in love. They return to New York where after finding gamblers in the
mission, Sarah comes to believe Sky was just distracting her so that his friends could use the mission
For illegal activity.To make good on his marker (he promise to bring Sarah a dozen sinners for her prayer
meeting), Sky bets $1000 against every gamblers' soul in a crap game and wins. Sarah gets the sinners
she needed for her mission, and discovers how deeply Sky cares (and in turn how she cares for him).
The show ends with Sky and Sarah married, and Nathan and his long-suffering fiance, Adelaide, getting
Married.
