The Matchmaker (1955)

written by Thorton Wilder (1897-1975)

directed by Barbara Helen Baker

performed October 11-13, 2003 in the Zula Pearson Theatre



















This romp through 1890s New York proves a
delightful farce about people who have decided to rejoin the human race in all its follies and foibles. 



















The Matchmaker was originally based on Johann Nestroy's Einen Jux will er sich machen (1842).  The story was later adapted into a musical form, the beloved Hello Dolly!
