ACTORS brings ‘I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change’ to Ames stage ACTORS is continuing its 64th season with the hilarious musical about love and relationships: “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change.” The 2018 version of this show, featuring adult humor and language, will have audiences cackling with delight. The play takes viewers through the entire development of relationships through a series of vignettes: starting with dating and trying to find a suitable partner (including receiving unwanted text pictures) to discovering love in your golden years. “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change” is the second-longest running musical off Broadway and was nominated for an Outer Critics Circle Award in 1997. Written by Joe DiPietro with music by Jimmy Roberts, “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change” first premiered at the Westside Theatre on Aug. 1, 1996, and closed on July 27, 2008, after 5,003 performances. ACTORS is thrilled to perform this show to Ames for the first time this November. A talented cast, representing more than five different communities in central Iowa, brings more than 160 years of combined theatrical experience to this performance. Despite a large number of characters, the show features a small cast of four women and four men who each play multiple roles. Katharine Bergman, who starred in “9 to 5” and “Curtains,” returns to the ACTORS stage. Nicole Galliart, Allison Bollinger and Libby Crawford are
