Love, Loss, and What I Wore: Actor Drawings

For those of you who have seen Love, Loss, and What I Wore, you know that each audience member gets a piece of paper that says “Draw A Picture of Yourself” with space to draw and describe your favorite or most memorable item of clothing.

During the show, Gingy teaches the audience to draw. She gives certain instructions such as draw an egg for a head, draw an ‘m’ for a mouth, and if you can’t draw eyes just close them. Then we ask the audience to hand in their pictures and we display them in our lobby at the Westside Theatre.

What you may not know is that we ask the actors to do the same! We give each of them the same piece of paper and have them reflect on an important piece of clothing. The result is a collection of memories that the ladies all share with each other in The Pink Book.
