The Matchmaker (THREE STARS)
Acclaimed director, Trudy Bruner, presents this wild and adventurous take on
Thornton Wilder’s The Matchmaker. This farce brilliantly captures the dichotomy between the desire for stability and adventure as Dolly Levi (The Matchmaker) plots to marry Horace Vandergelder for his money and have a good time while doing it. In the process, Dolly sets up elaborate schemes to keep lovers together in an epic quest for what may or may not be true love.
The center to this comedic buzzing hive: one slightly-desperate matchmaker with brown hair. That would be actress Riley Wenckus, who has taken on the role of Mrs. Dolly Levy, the matchmaker herself. A stellar performance
