Information about Auditions:
Auditions for the Arts Center of Kershaw County’s production of Love, Loss and What I Wore will be held Sunday October 20th and Monday, October 21st in the Douglas Reed House at the Center, 810 Lyttleton Street in downtown Camden.
The play written by Nora Ephron and Delia Ephron, based on the best-selling book by Ilene Beckerman, will be directed by Madeline McGrail.
The show will be presented February 20-23, 2025, in the Black Box Theatre at the Center.
Director McGrail is looking for an ensemble of female presenting actors, ages 18 and above of all ethnicities.
Winner of the 2010 Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatrical Experience, the show was produced Off-Broadway at the Westside Theatre in New York where it became the second-longest running show in the theatre’s history.
Many famous women have been in the production including Rosie O’Donnell, Tyne Daly, Kristin Chenoweth, Jane Lynch, America Ferrera and Kristen Whig.
The story is organized as a series of 28 stories, both monologues and ensemble pieces, and traditionally uses a cast of five principal women. The subject matter of the monologues includes women’s relationships and wardrobes and at times the interaction of the two, using the female wardrobe as a time capsule of all facets of these women’s lives.
Auditions will be held Sunday October 20th at 6pm and Monday, October 21st at 7pm.
Auditionees are encouraged to choose a monologue from the show that resonates with them to read (or perform). Actors may also be asked to share their own stories related to some of their most memorable pieces of clothing. If needed, callback auditions will be scheduled at a later date.
Perusal scripts can be reserved for three days through the Center office or by emailing [email protected].
