PlayMakers Repertory Company’s Summer Youth Conservatory is staging this year’s musical, “Hello Dolly”! The show opens Thursday, July 16, and runs through Sunday the 26th, with a cast and crew of local students. (It’s also a milestone show at PlayMakers: this is the 20th year of the Summer Youth Conservatory.)
