"Guys and Dolls" Draws an Impressive Audience! Great Work!

On January 24-26, Reagan Music and Theater Departments collaborated to put on "Guys and Dolls," a musical about love and gambling.  The cast was phenomenal.  They had wonderful stage presence and energy.  A shout out to the stage crew for their impressive set changes and hard work!  The cast and crew did an amazing job and entertained hundreds of parents, faculty, and friends.  Even Mayor Tom Barrett came out to enjoy the show!  Thank you to all who supported the students in this tremendous undertaking.  All of the hard work has paid off!  Great job, students!
