Kids can attend a boat
play ‘Love, Loss and What I Wore’ annual
Cathlamet Wooden
building event from 9 a.m.
Boat Festival will be held at
to 2 p.m. both Saturday
NEHALEM — First date
outits, prom dresses, dis-
organized purses and lucky
underwear — these clothing
items and more spark the
memories that make up
the play “Love, Loss and
What I Wore” by Nora and
Delia Ephron. The River-
bend Players will present
a production of the play
this September at the North
County Recreation District’s
Performing Arts Center.
With its intimate col-
lection of monologues and
dialogues, “Love, Loss
and What I Wore” uses
clothing, accessories and
the memories they trigger
to tell funny and poignant
stories about women’s
experiences to which both
men and women can relate.
Director Marilyn Karr
will guide the play through
humor, nostalgia and, of
course, fashion. The pro-
duction will feature June
Baumler, Sue Jelineo, Janet
Robinson, Rosa Erlebach,
Diane Ericson, Jeanine
Rumble, Linda Makohon
and Candace Nelson.
Six performances are
set at 7 p.m. Friday and
Saturday, Sept. 2, 3, 9 and
10; and at 2 p.m. Sunday,
Sept. 4 and 11.
The Sedona Fire Duo,
with Sedona Torres and
Michael Dinan, will pro-
vide entertainment before
each performance with a
blend of eclectic music.
The NCRD Performing
Arts Center is located at

are $10 each. The play
includes adult content. For

Written by sisters Nora
and Delia Ephron, the play
is based on the 1995 book
by Ilene Beckerman. “This
is not about fashion; it is
about what clothes really
are to us, those moments
when we are constantly
trying to find our identity
