Coming Soon: "I Love You... You're Perfect... Now Change"

My pal Eddie Harbert sends along this invitation to all of us for a terrific show coming up soon:

Just a note to invite you to come and see ARTS production of I Love You... You're Perfect... Now Change.

The show will be held in the Renaissance Ballroom (Old Huntington High School). It will be the first dinner theatre production that has been held there. They have just bought new lighting and sound systems and are hoping this will be the first of many dinner theatre productions to be held there. It is a very exciting event, especially since we are always looking for good venues to perform small shows in.

The show will be held January 29-31 and February 5-7. Dinner is at 6:30 p.m. and the show begins at 8:00. The show is being directed by me with musical direction by Mike Campbell and choreography by Coni Anthony.

We have a very talented cast of actors. They include: Mary Olson, Mark Baker, Jane Modlin, Dave Benton, Betty Craddock, Ron Short, Jennifer Scott and Josh Taylor.

Cost of tickets for the show and dinner is $25.00 per person and $10.00 for show only. A group rate is available for groups of 10 or more. The prices are exceptional! Most dinner theatres are between $30-$50.

The show can be best described as Saturday Night Live with music. The story is based around four couples who take the audience through the whole journey of love, dating, and relationships and pokes fun at the process we go through in search of a mate. It is a perfect "date play!"

This is an opportunity for all of us to support a great organization and show that there is a desire and need for dinner theatre in Huntington. We have made many attempts to create such a forum, but it has never been that successful. We have the opportunity to change that. It also gives us a chance to support one another and show that we support all theatre and arts within our community not just one agency or another.

Tickets can be purchased by calling ARTS at (304) 733-2787. The easiest way though is to either email me at eddie_harbert@yahoo.com with your request or call me at 304-412-8738. I can take your reservation and have it waiting for you at the "Will Call" table the evening of the show. Just email me the date you would like to attend and the number attending with you.

You can pay by either check, cash, or credit card when you pick up your tickets. I will email back a confirmation for you of your order.

Thank you so much for the support and love that you have given me over the years. Please respond with your order and attendance so that we can make sure that theatre and more especially, dinner theatre, can make a go in the community.
