The Valley Theatre of Houghton, NY,
began ten years ago with a production of Tony-award winning musical comedy, She Loves Me. The group continued to perform shows annually
including recent, well-received productions of Steel Magnolias and Neil Simon’s The Odd Couple, as well as last year’s Rodgers & Hammerstein
musical, A Grand Night for Singing. Now to commemorate their ten year anniversary
they are restaging the show that started it all. She
Loves Me tells the story of two bickering clerks who don’t realize that
they are actually secret pen-pals who are quickly falling in love. This popular story has been adapted to film
on three separate occasions including the Jimmy Stewart led The Shop Around the Corner, In the Good Old Summertime with Judy
Garland, and most recently, You’ve Got
Mail starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.
As before this production is directed by Nic Gunning with Mike Cox,
Amanda Cox and Paul Young reprising their roles as Georg Nowack, Amalia Balash
and Mr. Maraczek, respectively. Shows run September 13th and 14th (Thursday and
Friday) at 7 p.m. in the community room of the Houghton Wesleyan Church (9712
Rt. 19, Houghton). The production will
then move to the Nancy Howe Auditorium at the David A. Howe Public Library (155
N. Main St. Wellsville) where shows will
run at 7 p.m. on Saturday September 15th and 2 p.m. on Sunday September 16th.
The Wellsville shows are sponsored by
the Friends of the Library and will be presented free of charge.
