Based on the book The Matchmaker by Thornton Wilder, this production is performed by a cast and crew of more than 25 students from Presentation High School and other schools in the area. Vanessa Randazzo stars as Dolly Levi and Dan Harris as Horace Vandergelder.

There will be a reception on Nov. 1 with champagne and hors d'oeuvres.

Throughout the school year Presentation High School collects food, toys and pennies for Sacred Heart Community Services. Those attending the event are asked to bring one can of food.

Gardner Academy holds fundraiser

Gardner Academy kindergarten through fifth-grade students sold $21,873 worth of Christmas-themed products during the first fundraiser of its kind at the school.

PCM Fundraising Inc. of Los Gatos provided the products, and the school will get approximately 50 percent of the profits.

Funds raised from fourth- and fifth-graders will be credited toward their trip in February to the Camp Campbell Outdoor Science School Experience, run by the YMCA of the Redwoods in Boulder Creek.

Profits from kindergarten through third-grade students will be divided among their classrooms and added to the school's general fund, which covers expenditures like assembly productions and rewards for good attendance.
