**** Recommended  I really enjoyed the Dunes Arts Summer Theatre production of "She Loves Me," a charming musical love story set in pre-war Budapest. The cast is strong, the production is well-staged, the music is light and melodic, and, of course, they live happily ever after! You’ll probably recognize the plot, you’ve seen it in "You’ve Got Mail." After the beach, why not head to the theater. You’ll be glad you did. 4 Spotlights
