That indomitable female Dolly Levi brings her matchmaking talent to town this weekend when East Brainerd Community Theater presents “Hello, Dolly!” at Christ United Methodist Church, 8645 East Brainerd Road.

Four shows are scheduled today, July 20, through Sunday, July 23.

Kendra Gross is cast in the title role, with Wes Phinney playing opposite her as Horace Vandergelder. The pair heads a cast of 41 local actors.

Levi is a socialite-turned-matchmaker traveling to Yonkers, N.Y., to find a wife for cantankerous Vandergelder. She believes she’s his future spouse – now she just has to convince him.
