THE STORY: A play of monologues and ensemble pieces about women, clothes and memory covering all the important subjects—mothers, prom dresses, mothers, buying bras, mothers, hating purses and why we only wear black. Based on the bestselling book by Ilene Beckerman. "Funny, compelling…Brought down the house…but [the play] is not a comedy: A story about black cowboy boots becomes a sad tale of being underappreciated in a relationship; a tale of two women shopping for their wedding outfits ends bittersweetly; and the recollection of a new bra is a quiet testament to a women's search for dignity while undergoing treatment for breast cancer." —NY Times. "So funny and so powerful; so dear and sweet; so remindful of our female wiles, our worries, our insecurities, our remembrances of mother, father, sisters, brothers, lovers—I think it can't miss." —WowOwow.com. <https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2FWowOwow.com%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR3…> Twin Masks Performing Arts Center (TMPAC) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization committed to producing intimate, thought-provoking shows that engage, entertain and encourage audiences to consider different perspectives and points of view.
