The Matchmaker (2016)

Thornton Wilder’s much-celebrated farce brims with slapstick, mistaken identities and foiled secret rendezvous. Horace Vandergelder, a widower and owner of the Feed Store hires the marriage broker Dolly Levi to find him a wife, but she instead sets her sights directly on him. This swift farce runs headlong into hilarious complications. 

“Thornton Wilder is one of the great American playwrights, and The Matchmaker is both very funny and quite poignant,” Director Lou Rackoff said. “The setting is New York, 1900; the feeling of a time of relative innocence, and the overall style of Americana, is important in the production.”
