Support ETC's "Love, Loss and What I Wore"
Ellipse Theatre Community (ETC), a newly formed 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is excited to embark on its first production, Nora Ephron's hilarious and heartfelt hit, Love, Loss and What I Wore.
ETC is driven to bring theatre to the local and surrounding communities, which is why this play is being produced as a traveling show that will light up multiple venues in Central Oregon over its seven-show run. Director and ETC founding member Debbie Levin says “being a mobile organization that is not confined to a cemented physical location allows ETC to reach those within and outside of our community instead of expecting them to come to us.”
Based on the bestselling book by Ilene Beckerman, Love, Loss and What I Wore first premiered in 2008 as an intimate play of monologues and ensemble pieces about women, clothes, and the memories they provoke—mothers, prom dresses, buying bras, hating purses and why we eventually default to wearing all black, all the time. From the hilarious to the bittersweet, these stories will invite laughter, knowing smiles, and perhaps even a few wistful tears.
ETC is hosting this fundraising campaign to offset production costs, specifically venue rentals, licensing fees, tech support, props, and other needs.
Casting and ticket information for Love, Loss and What I Wore will be announced in the coming weeks. For more details, please visit www.etcbend.org or follow @etcbend on Facebook and Instagram.
