SUMMARY:She Loves Me Auditions
DESCRIPTION:PM&L Theatre and director Christi Nicholson are seeking a diverse cast of 16+ to audition for our production of She Loves Me.  There are no roles available for children in this show. All roles are available\, nothing has been precast.  This is a volunteer opportunity actors will not be paid. \nAuditioners are requested to complete their online audition form and reserve an audition slot before arrival. Audition forms and slots can be scheduled on a walk-in basis but are preferred in advance.\n\n\nAuditions will be held on Wednesday November 6 and Thursday\, November 7\, 2024\, from 7 – 10 pm at PM&L Theatre\, located at 877 Main Street in Antioch\, IL.

After both respond to a “lonely hearts ad” in the newspaper\, they now live for the letters that they exchange\, not knowing that the stranger they’re falling in love with is their own worst enemy. Based on the play Parfumerie\, on which the movies You’ve Got Mail\, The Shop Around The Corner\, and In The Good Old Summertime are also based\, the plot may seem pleasantly familiar. She Loves Me is a charming comedy with an endearing innocence and a touch of old-world elegance. \n\n\nNotes for Auditioners\n\n\n\n\nAudition Workshop: October 30 at 7:00pm  — This optional audition workshop will help anyone interested in auditioning prepare for the audition.  Participants will meet the director and music direction team\, learn about the show\, what will happen at auditions.
