Theatergoers invited to celebrate love with modern twist on Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice
Marietta Theatre Company is celebrating the season of love with I Love You Because, a modern-day musical love story sure to set all hearts aflutter!

Set in modern-day New York City, I Love You Because follows a young, uptight greeting card writer who finds his life turned upside down when he meets a flighty photographer.
