Written by sisters Nora Ephron and Delia Ephron, Love, Loss, and What I Wore is an intimate collection of stories covering some of life's most poignant moments and their corresponding wardrobe. This evening of vignettes, based on the best-selling book of the same name by Ilene Beckerman as well as personal reminiscences from the Ephrons and their friends, features a rotating cast of five who share tales to which every woman - and their male friends and mates - can relate.

The current cast - Jeanne Beker, Barbara Budd, Luba Goy, Sheila McCarthy, Jane McLean (with Lisa Horner stepping in for Beker on selected evenings due to her previous commitments) - perform to October 2.

"Awesome women, funny stories.... hilarious, touching, always enjoyable" - Richard Ouzounian, Toronto Star

"A show about women, and for women. Men, however, will get a kick out of being allowed, temporarily, to enter into the mysteries of womanhoodŠ. definite belly-laughs" - Paula Citron, The Globe and Mail

"Love, Loss, and What I Wore fits.... delightful theatre" - John Coulbourn, Toronto Sun

"It's a wonderful evening of laughs, tears, murmurs of "mmm-hmmm"...please, please, have an evening out and use this show as a way to reconnect through laughter with a friend, a sister or even yourself." - Erin Davis, 98.1 CHFI

"A closet full of laughs! Five fabulous and funny ladies deliver memories of fashions past from poodle skirts to stirrup pants. After seeing this show, you'll giggle every time you look in your closet." - Gloria Martin, 680 News

"What a treat it was to see five fabulously strong and uniquely colourful actresses perform. These women are a tour de force; at once hilarious and heart breakingŠ. great comic precision" - Jean Stilwell, Classical 96.3FM
