The Center for the Arts presents I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change directed by Matt Smith, beginning Friday and running through Sept. 6.

The show explores the trials and tribulations of being single, dating, marriage, loss and heartbreak.
Some of the satire includes what it means to be a part of the crazed, hopeless single scene; cold feet and the pre-wedding realization; the in-laws; the 30 years of marriage, etc.
Show times are Friday and Saturday at 7:30pm.and Sunday at 2 p.m.
Tickets are $12 for adults, $10 for seniors and students, but is not recommended for children under 13 years old.
Reserve tickets calling 615-904-2787 or visiting www.boroarts.org.
The Center for the Arts is located at 110 W. College St., one block off the historic Murfreesboro Square.
