Synopsis

Directed by Rhett Luedtke with the assistance of  Maggie Daane (musical director) and Richard Elliott (conductor), She Loves Me tells the story of Georg Nowack, whose life as head clerk in Maraczek’s Parfumerie is relatively peaceful until Amalia Balash is hired. While Georg and Amalia clash at work, each of them finds solace writing love letters to their anonymous romantic pen pals in the evening. When Georg discovers that his pen pal is none other than Amalia, he faces
a crisis of heart. Will his love for his pen pal prevail? Or will his disgust of his co-worker triumph?

She Loves Me is based on the book by Joe Masterhoff. The music was written by Jerry Bock (music) and Sheldon Harnick (lyrics), the duo who co-wrote Fiddler on the Roof.

Day 2:
Tuesday, Feb. 7, from 8-10 p.m. in Wood-Mar Auditorium
This ensemble audition will be a continuation of the movement workshop and cold readings.

Note: If you are at all involved with the Spring Choir Concert, you will not be able to audition for The Broken because performances conflict.
