Auditions for She Loves Me

place CCP Costume Center 315 6th Ave SE Osseo, MN 55369 expand_more
Presented by arrow_forward_ios Cross Community Players

Join CCP this spring as we present the hilarious and sweet musical She Loves Me. Set in a 1930s European 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! She Loves Me showcases a small but strong ensemble cast playing a range of memorable characters of all ages – and each with their moment to shine.

Artistic Director: Louise Rau

Music Director: Kelly Kadlec

Performances: March 22, 23, 24 and April 4, 5, 6, 2024 at Plymouth Playhouse
