Everything You Ever Thought About Relationships–But Were Afraid to Admit
Book and Lyrics by Joe DiPietro, Music by Jimmy Roberts
In this charming and comical musical about contemporary love’s many dangers (from the teen years through marriage, children, and old age), we get to giggle and recognize both ourselves and loved ones in the many reversals of modern romance.
With each audience member being able to connect to the character’s woes, it is no surprise that I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change became New York’s second longest running off-Broadway play. Join us at the Athens as this delightful romp takes on the truths and myths behind “the relationship” and the “mating game.”
Run time: 1 hour & 45 minutes (plus a 15-minute intermission)
Presented through special arrangement with Concord Theatricals

Ragtime

Young, Beautiful, Passionate, And Scandalous–America In the Time of Ragtime.
Book by Terrence McNally, Music by Stephen Flaherty, Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens
Based on the novel, Ragtime by E.L. Doctorow

Nominated for 13 Tony awards and winning the awards for Best Musical Score and Best Book of a Musical, this blockbuster was adapted from E.L. Doctorow’ s great novel Ragtime (a selection in Modern Library’s list of “100 Best Novels”).
Strikingly appropriate to our own difficult times, Ragtime uses three disparate families to evoke the dangerously dynamic forces transforming America just before World War I. The play’s ragtime, jazz, gospel, and ballad songs—30 of them in all—trace the once unimaginable sundering and merging of 3 families; one an upper-class, genteel, and sheltered white family; the second, a black family from Harlem who pursue a new kind of music and are pulled apart by fear and despair; and third, an impoverished and nearly starving Jewish immigrant father and daughter striving to reach the American dream. The musical’s explorations of how clashing racial, religious, social, and musical forces destroy some and transform others, eventually producing a hopeful American future, has moved and delighted a quarter century of audiences. Be sure to join them. This is a truly memorable show which cannot be missed.
Run time: 2 hours & 45 minutes (plus a 15-minute intermission)
