The Matchmaker, a classic farce by Thornton Wilder, tells a tale you might be familiar with.  It's characters and plot are the basis for the smash-hit Broadway musical Hello Dolly.

The Matchmaker has been directed by Jeffrey Brown, and Sarah Distel is the stage manager.  The crew includes Emily Eubank and Colton VanFossen.


The Matchmaker is a true classic of the stage from the pen of a Pulitzer-Prize winning playwright - and it's the source material for one of Broadway's most enduring favorites.  Come find out why!
