The Nazareth College Department of Theatre Arts and Theatre League will present I Love You Because, a modern-day musical romance, as the second production of their 2014-2015 Season. The show will run November 14, 15, 21, and 22 at 8 p.m.; and November 16 and 23 at 2 p.m., in Studio A48 at Nazareth College Arts Center.

Matthew Allen of West Winfield is among the production's cast and crew.

A modern-day musical love story that is loosely based on the novel Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, I Love You Because is set in New York City. It tells the story of a young, uptight greeting card writer whose life is changed when he meets a flighty photographer. Along with their eccentric friends and siblings, they learn to love each other not in spite of their faults, but because of them.

The production features lyrics by Ryan Cunningham and is set to music by Joshua Salzman. It is directed by Rochester-based actor, director, writer, teacher, producer, and improviser, Kerry Young.
