Little Theatre of Alexandria

The Little Theatre of Alexandria's 2026–27 season continues with the romantic musical She Loves Me, running October 17 – November 7, 2026.
In a charming 1930s European perfumery, shop clerks Georg and Amalia can't stand each other. They bicker across the counter by day, never suspecting that each is the anonymous pen pal the other has been falling for by letter. As the holidays approach and the mystery unravels, two unlikely sweethearts discover that love may have been right in front of them all along. Set to a lush, witty score, it's the same timeless story that inspired the film You've Got Mail.
Book by Joe Masteroff Music by Jerry Bock Lyrics by Sheldon Harnick Based on the play Parfumerie by Miklós László
Directed and choreographed by Mitchell Aiello, with music direction by Isabel Hernandez-Cata. Produced by Eleanore Tapscott and assistant produced by Cassie Cope.
