Mount Vernon Nazarene Universityās theatre program, MVNU Theatre, presents āThe Matchmakerā written by Thornton Wilder and directed by Keely Heyl. Wilder is best known for his Pulitzer Prize-winning plays āOur Townā and āThe Skin of Our Teeth.ā In this comedic play that inspired the musicalĀ āHello, Dolly!,āĀ a wealthy merchant hires a matchmaker to help him find a wife. Hilarity ensues as she becomes entangled in mischief with two of the merchantās clerks, several ladies, and a pair of waiters at the finest restaurant in town.
WNZR’s Rachel Rinehart (who is in the play) talked with several cast members about “The Matchmaker”. Click HERE to hear their conversations.
Director Keely Heyl approaches āThe Matchmakerā with innovative staging that couches the original story within a secondary story. About the production, Heyl states, āItās going to be a delightful adventure from start to finish. If you have seen the play or āHello, Dolly!,ā leave what you know at home. This will not be the same. While we are not the first cast to do a production this way, I think I can say we are the first ones to do THIS play this way. Your cheeks will be sore from smiling. There is a lot of darkness in this world, we aim to turn a few lights on and have a great time.ā Heyl, a 2013 graduate of Cedarville University with a B.A. in Theatre, has extensive experience working with various theatres in the central Ohio area.
Performances will be on Friday, November 3; Saturday, November 4; Friday, November 10; and Saturday, November 11. All performances begin at 7:30 p.m. in Thorne Performance Hall inside the R.R.
