Hershey Area Playhouse will present Love, Loss and What I Wore, a play written by Nora and Delia Ephron and based on the 1995 book of the same name by Ilene Beckerman.

Clothes can be incredibly evocative, especially for women, and the play Love, Loss, and What I Wore explores this idea with great playfulness and depth. The production at World Stage Theatre Company that closed this past weekend was a testament to the female capacity to overcome adversity and the ability of an ensemble cast to inspire a sense of sisterhood on stage.

Hershey Area Playhouse has announced an exciting schedule of theater for its 2020 season.

Southampton Arts Center is delighted to announce a live reading/production of Love Loss and What I Wore, a play by Nora Ephron and Delia Ephron based on the best-selling book by Ilene Beckerman, on Saturday, October 19 at 2 PM and 8 PM.
