I Love You Because

Ocean Beach Playhouse and Arts Center
4944 Newport Ave San Diego

Tinder and Twitter and Bumble, oh my. I Love You Because follows one couple who must navigate the pitfalls of dating and deal with the ups and downs of relationships in the modern age. Channeling the spirit of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Austin, an uptight greeting card writer who just discovered his girlfriend in bed with another man, meets Marcy, a bohemian photographer who's looking for romance in all the wrong places. Throw in their two opinionated friends overflowing with advice, and you have four people in serious need of some love lessons. Catch this modern-day musical love story -- with music by Joshua Salzman and book and lyrics by Ryan Cunningham -- at San Diego's Ocean Beach Playhouse and Arts Center.
