Event Details

5th Breakthrough Workshop Theatre project with an all-female cast and creative team.

Written by Nora Ephron & Delia Ephron / Based on the book by Ilene Beckerman / Directed by Heidi Maretz

A play of monologues and ensemble pieces about women, clothes and memory covering all the important subjects—mothers, prom dresses, mothers, buying bras, mothers, hating purses and why we only wear black. Based on the bestselling book by Ilene Beckerman, The New York Times described the play as "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 underappreciated 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."
