"The Matchmaker" Coming to USAO this Fall

Although the play is still several months off, preparations are already underway for the fall production of The Matchmaker Nov. 11-13 at the University of Science and Arts. The USAO drama department is scheduled to present the Thornton Wilder play at 7:30 nightly in the Davis Hall Theatre.

"The Matchmaker is a farce in the old-fashioned sense. I uses such time-honored conventions as characters hidden under tables and in closets, men disguised as women, a complex conspiracy to bring young lovers together and a happy ending in which three couples are united with plans to marry," according to enotes.com.
