The 45th performance by the Mt. Pleasant group, since its founding in 1970, has music and lyrics by Frank Loesser. The musical revolves around Sky, a high stakes gambler whose luck never seems to run out, and his romance with Sarah, a Sergeant of the local mission, and a colorful group of gangsters, gamblers and other characters of the New York underworld
