Van Wert High School students have been working hard to prepare for this year's school musical which will be performed this week on April 17th, 18th, and 19th.  Hello Dolly is the musical taking center stage and it tells the story of a meddling match maker, Dolly Levi, who is trying to pair up the millionaire, Mr. Vandergelder, with a suitable wife.  Things turn to complete chaos when Mr. Vandergelder's employees get in the mix of Dolly's matchmaking plans.  Through loveable characters and matchmaking schemes, hilarious trouble arises throughout New York City in this wonderful musical.  Come to the Performing Arts Center any of the three nights, or all three nights, and support the hard work and talent that the students have offered to the success of this year's musical.  The play will begin promptly at 7 p.m. each evening.
