The Barn Theatre in Montville, New Jersey continues its 92nd season by holding open auditions on September 8th & 9th at 7:00pm for its upcoming production of She Loves Me, written by Joe Masteroff with music by Jerry Bock and lyrics by Sheldon Harnick.

She Loves Me is a warm romantic comedy with an endearing innocence and a touch of old world elegance. 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 of all the twists and turns along the way!
