This will be a collaboration with the NSU Music Theatre troop and their director, Dr. Sloane Artis, performing “She Loves Me.” This story from a book by Joe Masteroff inspired a play, 2 films; The Shop Around the Corner (1940) and You’ve Got Mail (1998) and 2 musicals, In the Good Old Summertime (1949) and She Loves Me (premiered on Broadway in 1963 with a revival in 2016). The plot revolves around shop employees Georg and Amalia, who, despite being consistently at odds with each other at work, are unaware that each is the other’s secret pen pal met through lonely-hearts ads.
