The story follows Georg and Amalia, two perfumery clerks who aren\u2019t the best of friends. Constantly bumping heads while on the job, the sparring coworkers can\u2019t seem to find common ground. But little do they know, the anonymous romantic pen pals they have both been falling for happen to be each other. Will love continue to blossom once their identities are finally revealed?<\/p>\n<p>Furman faculty member and collaborative pianist Dewitt Tipton directs music for the performance.<\/p>\n<p>Cast members for \u201cShe Loves Me\u201d include:<\/p>\n<p>Tyrese Byrd (<span style=\"display: inline !important;
