Photo Coverage: LOVE, LOSS Welcomes Shields, Chlumsky et al. to May Cast with Bash at Elie Tahari

Directed by Karen Carpenter, this collection of stories is based on the best-selling book by Ilene Beckerman, as well as on the recollections of the Ephrons' friends. Like the popular book, Love, Loss, and What I Wore uses clothing and accessories and the memories they trigger to tell funny and often poignant stories that all women can relate to.

The production is performed by a rotating cast of five all-star actors, who perform in four-week cycles. The complete design team for Love, Loss, and What I Wore includes Jo Winiarski (Scenic Design), Jeff Croiter (Lighting Design), Walter Trarbach (Sound Design), Matt Shea (Wardrobe Stylist) and Maria Verel (Make-Up Design).

A portion of the production's proceeds benefit Dress for Success, a charity that provides work clothing and job support for low-income women. Audience members are invited to donate their gently-used purses and other accessories in the theatre lobby. The performance schedule is as follows: Tuesday at 7 p.m., Wednesday and Saturday at 2 p.m. & 8 p.m., Thursday and Friday at 8 p.m., Sunday at 3 p.m. Tickets ($75.00) are available via Telecharge.com (212-239-6200) and in-person at The Westside Theatre Box Office (407 West 43rd Street). Same-day general rush tickets ($25.00, cash only) are available at The Westside Theatre box office, beginning at noon. (Limited to two rush tickets per person. Seats are based on availability; some are limited view.)
