Hello Doll

From February 3rd to February 12th 2006, we returned to the New York of the turn of the (20th!) century and said: HELLO DOLLY!, the Jerry Herman mega musical and all time favorite. Presented at the San Mateo Performing Arts Center.

 Performance Photos

One of San Mateo High School's performances of Hello Dolly! was attended by a team of judges from American Musical Theatre of San Jose for adjudication and consideration for one or more of their prestigious HONORS Program awards.  The top Bay Area high school performers and productions are honored at a special awards ceremony in May.   In addition to Hello Dolly! earning the top award for Best Production among the 27 shows judged, Nick Balian received the award for Best Supporting Actor, and Morgan Mallory received a nomination for Best Actress.  Certificates were presented to the following actors in recognition of their outstanding performances:

Morgan Mallory (Best Actress Nominee)
Nick Balian (Winner- Best Supporting Actor) 
Sarah Hammond              Shaun Repetto
Ryan Courtin                    Elizabeth Windust
Michelle McComb             
Zach Trimmer


Another of the Company's performances was attended by the inimitable Merv Griffin, who earlier that day was the Guest of Honor at a special presentation during which he donated a most generous sum to his Alma Mater, earmarking half of it specifically to the school's Performing Arts. 

Merv was given the microphone before the evening performance of Hello Dolly, and he ad-libbed his way into the hearts of all.

Thank you, Merv!
