Fort Findlay Playhouse presents 'Hello, Dolly!'

Fort Findlay Playhouse will present the classic musical "Hello, Dolly!" as its season opening production starting July 27-30 and again Aug. 3-6 and 10-13. This musical adaptation of Thornton Wilder's hit play "The Matchmaker" bursts with humor, romance, energetic dance and some of the greatest songs in musical theatre history. The romantic and comic exploits of Dolly Gallagher-Levi, turn-of-the-century matchmaker and "woman who arranges things" are certain to thrill and entertain audiences again and again. "Hello, Dolly!" has a book written by Michael Stewart with music and lyrics by Jerry Herman. It is produced in association with Concord Theatricals. The show is directed by Jordan Gottscalk and produced by Heather Hardy. Aeryn Williams is the mentoring director/music director and Abbi Starcher is the choreographer. Show times are 8 p.m. on Thursdays through Saturday and 5 p.m. on Sundays.
