About the event

Starring Academy Award-winner Shirley Booth alongside Shirley MacLaine and Anthony Perkins, The Matchmaker follows the irrepressible Dolly Levi, a clever and charismatic matchmaker determined to arrange the perfect marriage for a wealthy merchant... while perhaps finding a little happiness for herself along the way.
Filled with humor, heart, and old Hollywood charm, The Matchmaker offers audiences the opportunity to experience the original story that eventually became one of musical theatre's most enduring favorites.
Whether you're a devoted fan of Hello, Dolly!, a lover of classic cinema, or simply looking for a memorable evening in Ogunquit, this special screening is the perfect complement to a visit to the Playhouse.
