Joanna Gleason to Join Cast of Love, Loss, and What I Wore

Tony Award winner Joanna Gleason will join the previously announced cast members Janeane Garofalo, Carol Kane, June Diane Raphael and Caroline Rhea in the Off-Broadway production of Love, Loss, and What I Wore at the Westside Theatre, February 3-28.

Nora and Delia Ephron’s adaptation of Ilene Beckerman’s 1995 book about clothes and the memories they trigger is directed by Karen Carpenter, and features a series of five-person casts that will play in four-week cycles. As previously announced, original cast members Rosie O’Donnell and Natasha Lyonne will return to the show in March, performing with Didi Conn and Fran Drescher.

The design team includes Jo Winiarski (scenic design), Bobby Frederick Tilley II (costume design), Jeff Croiter (lighting design), Walter Trarbach (sound design) and Maria Verel (make-up design).

A portion of the production’s proceeds will benefit Dress for Success, a charity that provides work clothing and job support for low-income women. Audience members are invited to donate their gently-used purses and other accessories in the theatre lobby.
