In small-town Alabama, there’s nothing worse than being the forty-something town widow — at least that’s how Lizzy feels since her husband died in an accident. Her days of avoiding returning to work, enjoying doing the laundry, and quietly reading on her back porch are interrupted by her new neighbor Jack, a widower, and his installation of a Maytag dryer on his back porch. A surprise discovery of a cache of love letters lead Jack and Lizzy to connect over grief, regret, and laundry. Through their bond they begin asking the questions of when to live again, and more importantly, when to love again.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single person in Manhattan, must be in want of a date. Described as a gender-reversed modern-day retelling of “Pride and Prejudice", I Love You Because follows Austin Bennet, a young greeting card writer, whose life is turned upside down when he finds his long-term girlfriend Catherine, in bed with another man. Forced back out into the treacherous New York dating scene by his kooky brother Jeff, Austin meets Marcy Fitzwilliams, a flighty photographer whose spontaneity is matched only by her ability to drive him insane. This new musical comedy explores the 'rules' and nuances of dating and learning how to love someone, not in spite of their differences, but because of them.
I Love You Because is presented through special arrangement with and all authorized performance materials are supplied by Theatrical Rights Worldwide, 1180 Avenue of the Americas, Suite 640, New York, NY 10036. www.theatricalrights.

Love, Loss and What I Wore" follows a collection of stories about the nostalgic power of women’s clothing. A diverse cast of women tell funny, wistful and universal memories about their families and loved ones through the prism of their closets. The throughline is narrated by Gingy, a wise older woman who reminisces about what she wore at milestones in her life. Like a long heart-to-heart with your best friend over coffee, the conversation meanders from odes to black clothing to cowboy boots and outfits that make mothers cringe. "Love, Loss and What I Wore" is a reflection on the joys and challenges of our common female experience.
