This Tony Award-winning show follows the story of two employees in Hungary during the 1930s. Georg Nowack is a senior clerk at a perfumery and a bachelor who finds himself in love with an anonymous pen pal. Unbeknownst to him, his pen pal is none other than Ms. Amalia Balash, an enthusiastic if not unreliable new clerk in his store. While their in-person work relationship teeters between unpleasant and hostile, their romantic relationship unfolds behind the mask of lonely hearts letters, with neither character realizing it is the other with whom they are corresponding. Book by Joe Masteroff, Lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, Music by Jerry Bock - Rated PG.

The End of the Runway Players (ERP) was created in 1983 when a small group of individuals with a variety of backgrounds, but a common goal, established a community theatre in Grapevine, Texas. They mounted their first full season in 1985 and the next year the ERP became a nonprofit organization, establishing the Runway Theatre in its first permanent home on Dooley Street. Eleven years later the theatre was destroyed in a tragic fire. With the community's support, Runway rebuilt nearby and have since produced hundreds of plays and musicals, recently celebrating its 35th season.
