Auditions for SHE LOVES ME at Starlight Community Theater announced for September 24



Directed by Abeth Spencer (teens) and Van Rockwell (adults), Music Direction by Thomas Hartwell and Choreography by Tracey Reay

Considered by many to be the most charming musical ever written, She Loves Me is a warm romantic comedy with an endearing innocence and a touch of old-world elegance. Set in a perfumery, we meet shop clerks, Amalia and Georg, who, more often than not, don't see eye to eye. After both respond to a "lonely hearts advertisement" in the newspaper, they now live for the love letters that they exchange, but the identity of their admirers remains unknown. Join Amalia and Georg to discover the identity of their true loves... and all the twists and turns along the way!

We will be casting two casts one ADULT (18+) and one TEEN (12-18) .
