She Loves Me

This chamber musical, staged by the Davis Shakespeare Ensemble for the Davis Shakespeare Festival, is this summer's unexpected surprise—a stylish, charming, old-fashioned love story handled sweetly by director Gia Battista. Good performances (including two Actors' Equity Association pros and several conservatory-trained performers), live music and lovely costumes make for a well-rounded and very entertaining show. She Loves Me runs in repertory, alternating with the Shakespeare comedy Much Ado About Nothing. Th, F, Sa 8pm; Sa, Su 2pm. Through 8/3. $15-$20. Veterans Memorial Theatre, 203 E. 14th St. in Davis; (530) 802-0998; www.shakespearedavis.org.
