“A witty and refreshing romantic tonic for the holiday blahs.”
Parfumerie is a heartwarming and nostalgic romantic comedy set in 1930s Budapest. At Hammerschmidt’s perfume shop, Christmas draws near, heightening the tension between employees George and Amalia, who can’t seem to agree on anything — especially their feelings for each other. But unbeknownst to both, the two are actually secret pen pals who have fallen in love through anonymous letters. As secrets unfold and misunderstandings bloom, Parfumerie takes the audience on a journey of love, friendship, and second chances, highlighting the spirit of the season and the joy of unexpected connections.
Parfumerie inspired a number of movies and Broadway hits, including You've Got Mail, Shop Around the Corner, and She Loves Me.
Produced by special arrangement with Playscripts. Part of our Professional Performance Series, this production features talent from local and regional professional actors.
Parfumerie is a family-friendly show, though it does explore themes of suicide. The run time is approximately two hours with one ten-minute intermission.
