Encore Players Host Auditions For I LOVE YOU...NOW CHANGE

Encore Players host Auditions for I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change

Book & Lyrics by Joe DiPietro
Music by Jimmy Roberts

Directed by Erin Eder

Show Synopsis:
I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change is a musical revue which takes a funny and witty look at relationships from the first date through marriage and death. This is an ensemble piece, complete with some choral reading. Presented in the form of a series of vignettes, the play is connected by the central theme of love and relationships. The play's tagline is "Everything you have ever secretly thought about dating, romance, marriage, lovers, husbands, wives and in-laws, but were afraid to admit." With few exceptions, the scenes stand independent of the others, but progress in a fashion designed to suggest an overall arc to relationships throughout the course of one's life. A first date, for example, comes before scenes dealing with marriage, and scenes dealing with marriage come before those dealing with child rearing. Despite the large number of characters, the show is typically done with a comparatively small cast. The majority of the script is made up of individual scenes for 2-4 people. The show could be done with a different actor for each character or with actors playing several characters. The music covers a wide range of musical styles. While the show is not explicit, there is very frank discussion about sex. A monologue dealing with the theme of the relationship between man & woman would be an excellent audition choice.
