I Love You Because is a New York City romantic comedy that has gone on to mount over 100 productions around the world in five languages. The premiere production at the Village Theatre began performances on January 19, 2006, and opened February 14, 2006. The mounting ran through May 21, 2006.

The show is described as follows: "The story of Austin Bennet, a greeting card writer who walks in on his girlfriend with another man. He is sent back out into the New York City dating scene with only his idiot brother, Jeff, to guide him. It's there that he meets Marcy, a flaky photographer with dating troubles of her own — and an actuarial best friend, Diana, who is trying to calculate her future. In order to move on with their lives, these four Manhattanites must put their pasts behind them and learn that true happiness isn't found by loving someone in spite of their faults, but learning to say, "I Love You Because."
