Tomlinson hosts Thornton Wilder’s “The Matchmaker”
Written by Jessica Smith, Posted in Living, Theater
Thornton Wilder’s “The Matchmaker” is an American play about the relationship between love and money. The play centers on the charming and charismatic character Dolly Levi. Dolly gets hired by the rich widower Horace Vandergelder to help broker fortunate marriages for himself and his niece Ermengarde, but Dolly has other plans.
Filled with “mistaken identities, near-misses and a wild romp through 19th century New York,” The Matchmakers proves false the old saying that money can’t buy happiness. The first showing is Wednesday night at 7:30 p.m. It will run until April 4 with alternating showings at 7:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. “The Matchmaker” will show in Tomlinson Theater. Tickets are $10 with TUid and can be purchased in the Temple Theaters box office.
