Join us for an evening of love, laughter, tears, and strolling down memory lane as we explore the power of clothes. A well-worn old piece of clothing can activate your sense memory with just a touch or the aroma of a familiar scent.
Love, Loss and What I Wore is a collection of monologues and ensemble pieces about women reflecting on memories of favorite clothing items, their mothers, prom dresses, finding the right bra, successful and not so successful marriages, only wearing black, to name a few. This amazing play is based on the bestselling book by Ilene Beckerman.
“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.” —NY Times.
“So funny and so powerful; so dear and sweet; so remindful of our female wiles, our worries, our insecurities, our remembrances of mother, father, sisters, brothers, lovers—I think it can’t miss.” —WowOwow.com.

Next To Normal explores how one suburban household copes with crisis and mental illness.
Dad’s an architect; Mom rushes to pack lunches and pour cereal; their daughter and son are bright, wise-cracking teens, appearing to be a typical American family. And yet their lives are anything but normal because the mother has been battling bipolar disorder for 16 years.
Next to Normal takes audiences into the minds and hearts of each character, presenting their family’s story with love, sympathy and heart.
Deaf Austin Theatre has teamed up with Ground Floor Theatre for this production of Tom Kitt & Brian Yorkey’s Pulitzer prize winning show and will be fully deaf inclusive. Each character will be played by 2 cast members – one deaf, one hearing.
