An electric experience and a moving tribute to the Queen of Disco!

A Boston girl with a voice from heaven, Donna Summer soared to the stars from her beginnings in her church gospel choir to the pinnacle of fame as a dance floor diva. But what the world didn’t know was how she risked it all to break barriers, becoming the icon of an era and the inspiration for countless female musical sensations who followed.
The Summer score features more than twenty classic hits including “Love to Love You Baby,” “White Boys,” “MacArthur Park,” “Heaven Knows,” “Bad Girls,” “She Works Hard for the Money,” “Hot Stuff” and “Last Dance,” to name but a few.
Summer and her music gave voice to that exciting, wonderful time when no one knew what was coming next; a time when everyone was determined to dance their fears away before the sun came up and the “Last Dance” was over.

"I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change"
2026-02-20 19:30 - 21:30, 2026-02-21 19:30 - 21:30, 2026-02-22 14:00 - 16:00, 2026-02-27 19:30 - 21:30, 2026-02-28 19:30 - 21:30, 2026-03-06 19:30 - 21:30, 2026-03-07 19:30 - 21:30, 2026-03-08 14:00 - 16:00 | Sea Glass Stage at Coligny, 1 No. Forest Beach Drive, Hilton Head Island, 29928, United States
Romantic adult relationships are the focus of the musical comedy I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change, coming to Sea Glass Stage Company February 20 to March 8.
Directed by Dan Franke, the show promises chuckles, guffaws, and maybe slightly cringy shrugs at familiar scenes.
“This show is almost indescribable – there’s nothing to compare it to,” Franke said, when asked what the musical is all about. “Each scene is a snapshot of love, in or out of it, with people who are old, young, gay, straight.”
The many stories celebrate numerous facets of relationships from first meet-ups to marriage, successful pairings to comical mistakes, from moving in to moving on, with a healthy dose of kids and in-laws, family vacations, and pick-up techniques of the elders.
Four local actors will portray the 40 characters represented in the comedic vignettes, “almost in Saturday Night Live sketch format crossed with a musical revue,” Franke said. “It is delightful, because the audience isn’t sure what the next scene is going to be.”
Franke is joined on the production team by Bob Adams as musical director, Alex Clark as stage manager, Ashley Gonzalez as choreographer, and Craig Walck as lighting designer. Marcia Peterson returns as costume designer and procurer.
Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays, February 20-March 8, at the home of Sea Glass Stage Company, 1 N. Forest Beach Drive in Coligny Plaza. Tickets are available now at sgstage.org.

You Can’t Stop the Beat!
In 1962 Baltimore, Maryland, quirky teen Tracy Turnblad’s dream is to dance on The Corny Collins Show, a local TV dance program based on the real-life Buddy Deane Show.
​Overnight, Tracy transforms from a nobody into a star, and uses her newfound influence to advocate for racial integration on the show. Tracy faces scrutiny and bullying from the network producer, Velma, and her popular yet vicious, daughter Amber. With the help of the teenage heartthrob Link, host Corny Collins, and Motormouth Maybelle, Tracy strives to overcome the odds to integrate The Corny Collins Show. The Tony Award-winning Hairspray continues to be a crowd-pleasing favorite, not only because of its wit and charm, but also because of the beautiful message of acceptance and progress that it portrays. The bright, energetic story of Tracy Turnblad teaches us all to look past the color of one’s skin and fight for every human being’s equal rights.

Directed by David Grindrod
