The MatchmakerBy Thornton WilderDirected by Yaga Brady Nov. 27,28,29(sold out) Dec 3,4,5,6,10,11,12,13 NOTE: 11/29 Performance is SOLD OUT
As our second offering this season we proudly bring to you Thornton Wilder’s The Matchmaker, a joyous, sprawling, and rollicking farce, one of the most enduring and endearing classics of the American stage. The Matchmaker marks the 500th production at The Stagecrafters.
Set in Yonkers and New York City near the end of the nineteenth century, the action takes place in the course of a single day . . . and what action it is! Love makes the world go ‘round, but a little money will grease the wheels – so proclaims canny marriage broker, Dolly Gallagher Levi. Engaged by rich, wife-seeking widower Horace Vandergelder, she artfully conspires to snag the man for herself and, in so doing, sets off a whirlwind of assorted missteps, mishaps, mistaken identities, and romantic entanglements that befall a dozen-or-so inter-related characters, each in their way primed to experience something new and invigorating in their lives.

Night Watch By Lucille Fletcher Directed by Tracie Lango Sept 18,19,20,24,25,26,27,Oct 1,2,3
Our season opens with the gripping mystery-thriller Night Watch, by Lucille Fletcher. As the curtain rises we see Elaine Wheeler pacing about in her luxurious Manhattan apartment near dawn, unable to sleep. While her husband is trying to calm her, she spots something through her window, inside an apartment in a building across the way, disturbing, distant, yet clearly visible to her – a raggedy chair, half in shadow... As seeming illusion melds with existing reality and her haunting memories, Elaine is confronted by family, friends, and the authorities, and slowly drawn into a fearsome web of intrigue and foreboding. As the plot ever thickens, the atmosphere of menace and suspense builds to a chilling climax.
(Note: Unlike our other shows this season, there will be NO performance on the third Sunday, 10/4)
