CenterStage North production of ‘I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change!’ starts Friday

I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change, CenterStage North, The Art Place-Mountain View

The last CenterStage North production of the spring and summer starts a week-long run on Friday The Art Place-Mountain View (3330 Sandy Plains Road). It’s Joe DiPietro’s “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change!” and six performances will take place through next Friday, May 19.

It’s billed as “a witty musical revue that tackles modern love in all its forms: from the perils and pitfalls of the first date to marriage, children, and the twilight years of life.”

The story is told in a series of vignettes and songs, and “traces the overall arc of relationships throughout the course of a life.”

The shows this weekend are at 8 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with a 2 p.m. Sunday matinee, as well as 8 p.m. next Thursday-Saturday, May 17-19.

Tickets are $20 each and can be ordered online.
