Our Summer Showstopper

Hold onto your hats, and escape to summer’s most irresistible offering. A joyful adventure created to sweep you off your feet. Every soul in this story is looking for someone to love, but their collective cupid-compass is pointing in all the wrong directions. Enter Dolly Levi: architect of the heart. As she plots one love connection, another takes flight when a pair of small-town dreamers flee to NYC to manifest their own destinies. It’s a vibrant dance of showstopping scenes and technicolor characters. Come join them in their quest for happily ever after.

Featuring Tracy Michelle Arnold, Colin Covert, Ama Kuwonu, Brian Mani, Triney Sandoval, Trevyn Wong.

Synopsis

Prepare to be dazzled by Wilder’s sparkling farce about love and class. At the heart of this story - which was the inspiration for the beloved musical Hello, Dolly! - the resourceful Dolly Levi, a professional meddler with a knack for arranging other people’s lives (and she may just uncover a few surprises for herself while she’s at it). When Dolly is called upon to find a wife for infamous curmudgeon Horace Vandergelder, hilarity ensues. Fueled by chaos and mistaken identity, with twists and turns aplenty, The Matchmaker celebrates the delightful messiness of human connection and the notion that everyone deserves a little adventure.
