SALT
LAKE ACTING COMPANY IS PROUD TO PRESENT A STAGED READING OF LOVE, LOSS, AND
WHAT I WORE BY NORA & DELIA EPHRON AS A FUNDRAISER
“It’s
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".
- Nora Ephron
Salt Lake Acting Company is delighted to announce our celebratory fundraiser,
a staged reading of LOVE, LOSS, AND WHAT I WORE by Nora and Delia Ephron. The
production is based on the memoir by Illene Beckerman and poignantly
illuminates women, clothing and the memories that are indelibly connected to what
we wear.
Made famous in its off-Broadway run, LOVE, LOSS explores five women and how their wardrobes relate to
pivotal moments in their lives. The late Nora Ephron, celebrated as a
successful screenwriter, director and essayist is most proud of this particular
contribution to American Theatre. The show won a special Drama Desk Award and was nominated
for two Drama League awards in 2010. Nora Ephron, in an interview in
Huffington Post said “Everybody associated their clothing with an important event
in their life – their divorce, their marriage, falling in love, their
prom nights. It's just so powerful for women.”
SLAC is honored to announce that over 80 women have volunteered, each a
unique luminary of this community, to perform in rotating casts of five
throughout the three week run of the theatre’s fundraiser. This powerful
group of women make diverse and significant contributions to the city we live
in- making their mark within the arts, education, politics and business.
LOVE, LOSS, AND WHAT I
WORE has inspired an important partnership between SLAC and the Salt Lake City Junior
League. We are thrilled to support and advocate their program ‘Women
helping Women.’ Junior League volunteers collect, prepare, and distribute
donated professional women's clothing to women entering the workforce and who
are in transition towards self-sufficiency. Clients are referred to the project
by government and social service agencies. Women Helping Women has served
nearly 12,000 women since 1996. Throughout the run of LOVE, LOSS, AND WHAT I
WORE, SLAC will happily accept donations professional women’s clothing
that is seasonally appropriate for this program in our lobby. Women Helping
Women exemplifies the core of this production - clothes
don’t make us who we are, but often, they tell our story.
