Trine University Theatre has announced the cast and crew for its upcoming production of “The Matchmaker,” by Thornton Wilder.
The play will be performed at 7 p.m. Thursday and Friday, April 11 and 12, and at 2 p.m. Saturday, April 13, in the T. Furth Center for Performing Arts.
Tickets are $10 each for the general public, $5 for students 12-18, and free to Trine students and employees. They will be on sale beginning Friday, Feb. 2, at trine.link/tickets.
In “The Matchmaker,” Horace Vandergelder wants to get married; his niece and an artist want to get married; his clerks want to have an adventure; and Vandergelder’s potential wife and her assistant want to have some fun. The problem is that Vandergelder is committed to making sure no one else gets their dreams. At the center of it all is Dolly Levi, the matchmaker extraordinaire, who spins Vandergelder’s expectations out of control.
Cast members are as follows:
Lou Ann Homan, Trine lecturer, is serving as director, with assistance from Lydia Roop, an English major from Decatur, Indiana, and Jason Branch, a psychology major from Chesterfield, Virginia.
Adjunct faculty member Joanna Claudy will oversee costumes. Tim Hopp, Ph.D., professor in Trine’s Department of Humanities and Communication, is producer for the play.
The Trine Theatre program is part of the university’s Department of Humanities and Communication.
