With more than 65 students from elementary to high school and more than 60 parents and community members involved, Kutztown High School presents “Hello Dolly.” Opening night is Friday, Nov. 16 at 7:30 p.m.

Director Robert Williams was not part of the selection process but believes one of the reasons“Hello, Dolly” was selected because Kutztown“had talented students capable of playing the difficult roles in the show.”

“While we involved with Kutztown musicals like to present new musicals to the Kutztown High School stage, sometimes we feel the need to re-introduce a timeless classic musical to a whole new audience. That is why we chose to present ‘Hello, Dolly,’” wrote Williams in the Director’s Message for the show program.
