Playhouse opens new season

The Erie Playhouse's 2018-2019 season opened earlier this month with "Hello Dolly!" The Broadway hit, which runs through Sunday, is about Mrs. Dolly Gallagher Levi, who works as a matchmaker in New York. Set in the late 19th century at the turn of the 20th century, Dolly is leaving New York City to head to Yonkers, N.Y., to find a suitable match for Horace Vandergelder, whom she calls in the show, "a half-a-millionaire" while helping Ambrose Kemper, who is in love with Horace's niece, Ermengarde, and wants to marry her.
