The Matchmaker was written by three times Pulitzer Prize winner Thornton Wilder. With a cast of sixteen this four act play is set in New York at the end of the Nineteenth century. A farce in the old-fashioned sense, it uses such time-honored conventions as characters hidden under tables and in closets, men disguised as women, a complex conspiracy to bring young and not so young lovers together, and a happy ending in which three couples are united with plans to marry. The hit musical “ Hello Dolly” was modeled on this original  stage play
