BLADE STAFF

The Huron Playhouse continues its run of summer performances with the opening Tuesday of the romantic comedy I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change.

Considered Off-Broadway's longest running show, the “modern-day suburban mating game” portrays more than 60 characters, which means busy nights for the eight actors who lead the audience through the exploration of relationships from dating until death.

It was originally produced by the American Stage Company with direction from Joel Bishoff and music by Jimmy Roberts.

“I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change” will be presented Tuesday through July 13 at 8 each night. Tickets are $13 to $17 and the performances are at McCormick School, 325 Ohio St. in Huron. Information: www.thehuronplayhouse.org.
