“Love, Loss and What I Wore,” based on the book by Ilene Beckerman with a script by the Ephron sisters, is a poignant series of monologues with a rotating cast of five women.
Stripped Scripts offers the performances free of charge as a community service to recognize Westchester End-of-Life Coalition (WELC) and its important Live With Care project. Threadgold, in addition to being the producer, is one of the five actors in the play, along with Patricia Black, Susan Finch, Elizabeth Loyacano, and Melissa Mahoney. The director is Tom Titone (Buddha Picnic, Manhattan Repertory Theatre).
Everyone involved, from the actors to the venues, is donating their time to bring attention to Live With Care and WELC.
“I am thrilled for this opportunity to revive ‘Love, Loss and What I Wore’ in support of such a worthy cause as WELC,” Threadgold said in a release.
WELC and its Live With Care project provides direction and guidance to individuals and families in Westchester living with serious illness and at the end of life. It promotes the completion of a Health Care Proxy by everyone age 18 or over and encourages conversations about health care wishes and goals among family members and health care providers.
In a “Talk-Back” following the shows, the cast and director will engage the audience in a conversation moderated by Pat Stanley, narrative medicine facilitator and a WELC Board Member. Refreshments will be served during the “Talk-Back,” including chocolates donated by Misty Gonzalez of Hortus Environmental Design.
