The Carmel High School Drama Club is deep in rehearsal for Thornton Wilder’s “The Matchmaker”. Julie Daza and Anthony Velez, under the guidance of the club’s Drama Advisor, Margaret Carey, direct this classic comedy. Wilder’s uproarious farce about love and money stars the irrepressible busybody, Dolly Gallagher Levi (Alieyah Brown), who inspired the Broadway musical, Hello, Dolly! Through Dolly’s subtle machinations, several unlikely couples come together to find happiness in 19th-century New York.
The talented cast of Carmel High School students includes Benjamin Antoniuk, Morgan Argentieri, Alieyah Brown, Franchesca Cabrera, Mariana Daza, Allison Devane, Julia Field , Jen Gerace, Matthew Gianfransico , Jake Groundwater, Ben Hitchcock, Lauren Hoffmann, Hannah Loughran, Ayden Mallegol, Ashlyn Manfro,, William Meyers, Olivia Murillo, Stephanie Ogbebor, Madeline Olsen, Amanda Purr, Jimmy Purr, Melissa Rice, Allison Sanel, Beck Spears, Ashley Suppa, Angelina Trongone, and Caelyn Tuffy.
Take a trip to nineteenth-century New York and meet the cast of characters including the curmudgeon, Horace Vandergelder, his clerks, several lovely ladies, waiters of a fancy restaurant and, of course, the irrepressible, Dolly Levi.
