Producer Daryl Roth welcomed Mary Birdsong, Lisa Joyce, Jane Lynch and Mary Louise Wilson to the rotating company of Love, Loss, and What I Wore, an intimate collection of stories by Nora Ephron and Delia Ephron, and directed by Karen Carpenter, on Wednesday, October 21st. The actresses join current company member Tyne Daly.
Love, Loss, and What I Wore opened on October 1st to rave reviews, and is playing to sold out houses at The Westside Theatre (407 West 43rd Street), with tickets now on sale through March 2010.
This collection of stories and monologues 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 will be performed by a rotating cast of five all-star actors, who will perform in four-week cycles.
The design team for Love, Loss, and What I Wore includes Jo Winiarski (Scenic Design), Jessica Jahn (Costume Design), Jeff Croiter (Lighting Design), Walter Trarbach (Sound Design) and Maria Verel (Make-Up Design).
A portion of the production's proceeds will 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.
Tickets ($75.00) are available via Telecharge.com (212-239-6200) and in-person at The Westside Theatre Box Office (407 West 43rd Street).
