Theatre and Dance

“I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change,” a humorous musical revue with songs and vignettes about the modern world of romance, will be performed at 8 p.m. March 2, 3, 9 and 10, and at 2 p.m. March 11 in the University Theatre.

This celebration of the mating game takes on the truths and myths behind that contemporary conundrum known as 'the relationship.' Act I explores the journey from dating and waiting to love and marriage, while Act II reveals the agonies and triumphs of in-laws and newborns, trips in the family car, and pick-up techniques of the geriatric set. 

Directed by Darryl V. Jones, associate professor of theatre and dance, with music direction by student Sierra Dee, this revue pays tribute to those who have loved and lost, to those who have fallen on their face at the portal of romance, and to those who have dared to ask, “Say, what are you doing Saturday night?”

Tickets at $10 to $20 may be reserved at

Information is available at (510-) 885-3118 weekdays.
