Love, Loss, and What I Wore is organized as a series of monologues and uses a rotating cast of five principal women. The subject includes women’s relationships and wardrobes and at times the interaction of the two, using the female wardrobe as a time capsule of a women’s life. Gingy acts as the narrator, sketching various parts of her wardrobe that stir the most poignant memories. In addition, one character serves as a vixen, another plays a vulnerable gang member from Chicago, a third portrays a brave cancer patient, and the last appears as a mature woman pierced by vivid memories of the past.

Purdon Studio Theatre is dedicated to presenting non-traditional theater in an intimate setting. The term “non-traditional” may refer to the choice of a contemporary, edgy, or more controversial play or, it may be a new and unconventional way of presenting a classic piece. Because of the close proximity of the 50 member audience to the stage the audience becomes intimately involved with scenes and the characters.
