SUMMARY:"I Love You\, You're Perfect\, Now Change"
DESCRIPTION: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. \nDirected by Dan Franke\, the show promises chuckles\, guffaws\, and maybe slightly cringy shrugs at familiar scenes. \n“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.” \nThe 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. \nFour 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.” \nFranke 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. \nPerformances 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.

SUMMARY:The Play That Goes Wrong
DESCRIPTION:Award-Winning Comedy Delivers Non-Stop Laughs\n\nThis Olivier Award-winning comedy is a hilarious hybrid of Monty Python and Sherlock Holmes. Welcome to opening night of The Murder at Haversham Manor of the Cornley Drama Society’s newest production\, where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous. \nThis ill-fated play-within-a-play is comically undermined by a series of escalating and increasingly absurd mishaps\, from collapsing sets and forgotten lines to props going missing and actors getting injured. \nThe main story revolves around the dramatic unfolding of these accidents and the actors’ attempts to keep the show going amidst the chaos. With an unconscious leading lady\, a corpse that can’t play dead\, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines)\, it’s a riotous explosion of comedy! \n‍ \n\n\nBest For Ages:\n13 and up\n\n\n\nGet Your Tickets\n\n\n\n\nAdult\nPreview*\n\n$49\n\nRegular\n\n$59\n\n\n\nChild\nPreview*\n\n$44\n\nRegular\n\n$54\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets\n\n\n*Previews are a set of public performances that precede its official opening. Learn More

SUMMARY:It's Thursday!  Artists of the Round Table
DESCRIPTION:A new retrospective exhibition\, “It’s Thursday! Artists of the Round Table\,” will celebrate 15 prominent local artists who gathered weekly at The Red Piano Gallery from the 1970s through 1994 to share ideas and projects that nurtured the island’s growing art community. The exhibit will be on view through March 23\, 2026. \nThe public is invited to the opening reception on Thursday\, November 13\, from 5 to 7 pm. \nThis retrospective brings together approximately 80 works from private collections and new museum acquisitions. The Artists of the Round Table include Aldwyth\, Ralph Ballantine\, Joe Bowler\, Danielle DeMers\, Joe DeMers\, Ray Ellis\, Elizabeth Grant\, Walter Greer\, Tua Hayes\, Katy Hodgman\, Louanne LaRoche\, Allen Palmer\, Marge Parker\, George Plante\, and Coby Whitmore. \nThe museum is offering free curator’s tours of the exhibit on the following dates:\nTuesday\, December 16\, at 1 pm; Thursday\, January 22\, at 1 pm; Tuesday\, February 24\, at 11 am; and Saturday\, March 14\, at 11 am. \n“We are thrilled to present this historically significant exhibition that captures a remarkable time in Hilton Head’s art community\,” said Elizabeth Greenberg\, Director of Exhibitions. “I would have loved to have been at their Thursday meetings and listened to these influential artists talk about their craft.” \nVisitors can see memorabilia\, photographs\, books\, and articles about the artists\, including articles by Theodore F.

Their voices still echo in spirit today\, as I continue to feel and hear their thoughts challenging me to be a better artist. I am so grateful to be a part of this exhibit that can pay tribute to their legacy.”
