"There's nothing like mixing with women to bring out all the foolishness in a man of sense."

Rich (and sensible) Horace Vandergelder is planning to get married. After many years of caution and hard work, he feels he has the right to a little risk and adventure. So he employs a matchmaker, one Dolly Levi, who is more than a match for this man of sense. For Dolly knows that the one way to keep human beings from harm is to fill their lives with the small human pleasures that are our right in the world. However, this takes money, and Dolly doesn't have any.

But Dolly does have competition, the millineress Irene Molloy who intends to marry Horace Vandergelder or break out like a fire-engine in the attempt.

Who will win Horace's heart (and wallet)? And who is Ernestina Simple? Find out, in the Robert Sayle Drama Group's hilarious production of The Matchmaker.
