The Burlington Players are delighted to announce auditions for Love, Loss, and What I Wore by Nora and Delia Ephron. Production dates are November 6–21, 2026.
This evocative and moving play features monologues and ensemble pieces about women, clothes, and memory. Based on the bestselling book by Ilene Beckerman, the show covers important subjects – mothers, prom dresses, mothers, buying bras, mothers, hating purses, and why we only wear black.
Director Karen Dervin will hold auditions on Monday, August 24 and Tuesday, August 25, 2026, from 6:30–9:30 pm by appointment at the Burlington Recreation Center, 61 Center St, Room #TBD, with possible callbacks on Thursday, August 27, 2026.
