Twin City Players announces the holiday production of its 2023-2024 91st Mainstage Season, the heartwarming comedy Parfumerie adapted by E.P. Dowdall. Opening night, December 1, will feature complimentary wine from Lemon Creek Winery.
This adaptation of the play that inspired several movies (You’ve Got Mail & The Shop Around the Corner) and a Broadway musical (She Loves Me), is a warm, gentle comedy that follows the tangled tale of Parfumerie employee George Horvath. Just days before Christmas, George’s boss fires him after suspecting him of being his wife’s lover. Meanwhile, George’s own love life goes awry when he discovers that the pen pal he has fallen in love with is a co-worker with whom he constantly feuds. Only the truth can lead to a happy resolution in this old-fashioned, romantic Christmas tale.
