Director's Notes

Seldom does a director have the privilege of working with a script and score that has been so popular for 10 years. Add to that the talent of our cast and musicians, and you have a director's dream.

Joe DiPetro conceived of the lyrics and hilarious dialog. He also gave us food for thought concerning our own lives. I know that each of you will nudge that person sitting next to you and say, "Oh my, gosh, that's us". And therein lies the magic of I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change.

It brings home those wonderful and awful moments surrounding the relationships of our lives. All of us connected with the Evergreen Players are excited to give you this little chunk of life... we know you'll love it.
