Show Synopsis: A play of monologues and ensemble pieces, Love, Loss, and What I Wore explores the lives of women through 28 characters sharing their memories of love and loss as framed through the lens of the clothes they wore. From wedding dresses to miniskirts, the universal obsession with black, and the hunt for the perfect purse, the play reveals the idiosyncrasies of the female experience. At its best, Love, Loss is about our shared humanity in the common experience of what seems trivial, pointing to the times it wasn’t trivial — who you were when you bought the thing, wore the thing, and most importantly, loved the thing, and perhaps lost yourself in it. The play is about our relationships — not with the clothes themselves, but with the people they represent — with our mothers, sisters, daughters, husbands, and lovers.
Casting for an ensemble of at least 5 women of varying ages.
Performance dates-May 3-May 19
These are open auditions, and anyone who is interested is invited to attend. Those auditioning will do so by reading monologues from the script and are asked bring a list of conflicts with them.

Nora Ephron
“This is not about fashion; it is about what clothes really are to us, those moments when we are constantly trying to find our identity through them and either failing or succeeding,” she said during a Q&A session in 2009 with Elle Magazine. You can’t go wrong with Nora.
