All-female play helps domestic violence victims

March 13-- Mar. 13--A special performance of the off-Broadway play, "Love, Loss & What I Wore," will be held at the Mann Center on March 30 to raise money for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.

The Bodacious Theatre Company, a Chatham County coalition of actors who raise awareness and money for local issues, is putting on a limited three-day performance of the show in Sanford and Pittsboro on March 28, 30 and 31.

The last performance, in Pittsboro, is already sold out. Tickets are still available for the March 28 show at 8 p.m. in the Fearrington Barn, 500 Fearrington Village Center, Pittsboro, and the March 30 show at 8 p.m. in the Mann Center, 507 N. Steele St.,Sanford.

Tickets are $20 and all proceeds will benefit the nonprofit Second Bloom of Chatham, Inc.

Directed by Ellen Bland, a local cast of 17 women will perform the series of monologues and vignettes that make up the play, according to a release.

The play, based on a 1995 novel by Ilene Beckerman and reimagined by sisters Nora and Delia Ephron, explores a woman's relationship with her wardrobe and how certain clothes call back memories of pivotal moments in life.

The play "is not about fashion; it is about what clothes really are to us, those moments when we are constantly trying to find our identity through them," Nora Ephron wrote.

Tickets are available online at brownpapertickets.com or the Bodacious Theater Company of Chatham's Facebook page. Tickets are also available at The Joyful Jewel, 44 Hillsborough St.Pittsboro. Due to content, recommended age is 13+.
