Love, Loss and What I Wore

  • Rochester Civic Theatre Studio Theatre 20 Civic Center Drive Southeast Rochester, MN, 55904 United States (map)

BY NORA AND DELIA EPHRON
BASED ON THE BESTSELLING BOOK BY ILENE BECKERMAN.

APRIL 25-27 AND MAY 2-4 AT 7 PM AND MAY 5, 2019 AT 2 PM

Love, Loss and What I Wore is a play about women, and the unique memory of what clothing they wore during life's most memorable moments—mothers, prom dresses, mothers, buying bras, mothers, hating purses and why we only wear black. Based on the bestselling book by Ilene Beckerman.

"Funny, compelling…Brought down the house…but [the play] is not a comedy: A story about black cowboy boots becomes a sad tale of being under appreciated in a relationship; a tale of two women shopping for their wedding outfits ends bittersweetly; and the recollection of a new bra is a quiet testament to a women's search for dignity while undergoing treatment for breast cancer." —NY Times.

"So funny and so powerful; so dear and sweet; so remindful of our female wiles, our worries, our insecurities, our remembrances of mother, father, sisters, brothers, lovers—I think it can't miss." —WowOwow.com.
