Join the sales clerks of Mr. Maraczek’s Parfumerie as they search for love with the right people in the wrong places! In love with each other’s personalities, Amalia and Georg are secret pen pals- but at work they just seem to rub each other the wrong way. Ilona is tired of being used by men and just wants to settle down with a good man- someone who isn’t her occasional lover and co-worker, Mr. Kodaly! With his humble perspective on life, Sipos will do anything to keep his job, while Arpad is a cheeky young delivery boy with loftier goals. With memorable songs such as “If I Knew His Name”, “A Trip to the Library”, “Vanilla Ice Cream” and of course the title song, “She Loves Me”, this lovable group of characters will leave you smiling. A romantic musical comedy based on the same play that inspired The Shop Around the Corner and You’ve Got Mail.

Neil Simon’s poignant comedy about one family’s last summer at their cabin in the Poconos, and the romantic entanglements, surprise visits and restored relationships that change them all. Josie, who secretly loves her ex-fiance’s best friend Ray; Josie’s father Burt, who is recovering from a heart attack and is still in love with his ex-wife Annie; and their housekeeper Clemma (also the story’s narrator) who has a surprise visit of her own- Lewis, the husband who deserted her long ago. Add Sammii, a sweet but vacant model who shows up with Ray, and Vinnie, a colorful character from Miami with a flair for creative “phrase-ology”, and you have the mix for one unforgettable afternoon!

Two young philosophy professors, Victor and Harlan, have been friends, rivals and pranksters since their college days. But now Harlan has become a Stoic who has adopted a strict unemotional regimen in preparation for the afterlife, while Victor has turned into a wild hedonist who believes that “when you’re dead, you’re dead” and intends to squeeze every drop of pleasure from each fleeting moment. While they are vacationing with their long-suffering wives at a remote cottage on the coast of British Columbia, Victor sets up a trick to prove to Harlan the falseness of his philosophy, but the trick goes murderously wrong and all their lives are changed forever…
