Think of it like the Golden Bachelor comes to Gloucester.
If you enjoy slapstick, mayhem, and a bit of adult humor, come see Hello Dolly!, a musical being performed by the Annisquam Village Players, Aug. 5-10 at the historic Annisquam Village Hall. Curtain rises at 7 p.m. Tickets can be purchased via the website, www.annisquamvillageplayers.org.
The story is set in Yonkers and New York City and involves the matchmaker, Ms. Dolly Levi (played by Jennifer McKay) who sets out to find a bride for the old curmudgeon and widower Horace Vandergelder (played by Mike English), as well as meddle in other romantic situations. Like many relationships, it gets complicated.
The show also stars locals Bill Wrinn (playing the in-need-of-a-life store clerk Cornelius Hackl), Victoria Fortune (in the role of Mrs. Irene Malloy, the male-exploiting hat shop owner) James Brennan (a wide-eyed youth), Miranda Joyce (playing Minnie Fay, a young hat shop assistant), Kavika Babson (Ambrose the artist seeking marriage), Kiki Campbell (Ermengarde, a sobbing 17-year-old), Morgan Reilly (Ernestina Money, a floosie looking for a hot date), and Tom Moriarty (the German restaurant major-domo).
The Annisquam Village Players is one of the oldest community theatres in the country, dating back to its first production in 1863 on the Annisquam Village Green, and have since entertained Cape Anners for decades. Don’t miss its latest production. Get your tickets while they last!
