Full Circle

Next season's stories and theatrical experiences can be characterized by variety, recognizable human situations, laughs, poignant human connection, love, compelling ideas, fun, avenues for being transported out of yourself, inclusiveness and opportunities to be emotionally moved in many ways. Although the play titles may be unfamiliar to you, you’re going to have a great time! And while you’re being entertained, you'll also have things to contemplate. I trust that through it all, you'll feel alive, connected and energized.

An Interview with Dr. Jesse Rabinowitz
Therapist with the Jewish Family Services

"When we first meet somebody, the priorities are quite different than when we make a commitment and have children. That’s one of the things that shakes people up in relationships. The relationship now becomes more than two people, and you’ve got a whole new interpersonal feel there. You have relationships with the children that may or may not complement the relationship between the parents. What is captured wonderfully in the play is that the search for a connection is consistent throughout our lives. The work for therapists in working with couples is how do you work with happening with that need for a connection within the context that those people are in whether it’s family, children, or elders. But you have to work within the given context to make that connection a reality."

The Director's Notes for I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change

When I began to delve into the heart of this show, I was amazed to discover that no matter how things change, they remain the same. Being a member of a slightly older generation, I thought possibly the younger set had acquired more understanding of the opposite sex. After all, we live in a time when more married women are in the work force, while men seem to be taking a more active role in child rearing. While this is true, the problem seems to be the age-old dilemma of how do you get there? How do you find the ideal mate or anyone at all to head towards the proverbial sunset?

It may be true that in today's world we have become more alone than ever. With computers and all the technological advances that are occurring, we seem to be even more alienated. While this show deals mainly with urban types, there still is a sense of isolation that pervades American society. We've lost a sense of community. The events that occurred on 9/11 have made us more aware of our country than we have been in a long time. However, I do believe a lot of us experience these events locked up in our houses or apartments with our television sets. In the aftermath, we don't band together for comfort.

But I digress. The main point of I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change is about finding and forming a relationship. It is first and foremost a comedy consisting of sketches and songs. It relies on a talented, versatile cast which we have been fortunate to assemble.

In closing, I want to share a funny story I read in the New Yorker magazine. A male writer was talking to his friend, who never could find the right woman. She was either too tall, too short, too talkative—the list went on. Mainly, he said she wasn't pretty enough. In a restaurant one night, the writer pointed out a stunning woman, and the friend said "Well, she's pretty but she's no Michelle Pfeiffer". But she was.
