Saddleback Civic Light Opera and the Department of Theatre Arts proudly present Hello, Dolly! starring Jonelle Allen as Dolly on July 11th-27th in the beautiful McKinney Theatre on the Saddleback College campus.

Directed by Myrona DeLaney with choreography by Roger Castellano and musical direction by Lex Leigh, this enduring Broadway classic is the winner of ten Tony Awards including Best Musical.
“And what do you do for a living, Mrs. Levi?’ asks Ambrose Kemper in the first scene of this most delightful of musical comedies. “Some people paint, some sew… I meddle,” replies Dolly.
