Actresses Emily Bergl and Ashley Austin Morris will lead cast and crew members from the Off Broadway show, Love, Loss, and What I Wore, as they install Sheetrock in affordable Habitat-NYC homes in Bed-Stuy.

The actresses will accessorize their construction outfits with boots, hard hats and electric drills.
They will help to renovate an eight-unit building, originally built in 1931. When completed, it will become affordable condominium homes for low-income working New York City families.

The building is part of 100 Homes in Brooklyn, a new Habitat-NYC initiative to build or renovate affordable homes in Bedford-Stuyvesant and Ocean Hill-Brownsville, communities hit hard by the foreclosure crisis. The initiative is funded in part with a grant from the federal Neighborhood Stabilization Program 2.

WHEN: Tuesday, June 28

(Between Marcus Garvey Blvd. and Lewis Ave.)

Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn

About Love, Loss, and What I Wore

Love, Loss, and What I Wore, written by Nora Ephron and Delia Ephron and produced by Daryl Roth, is an intimate collection of stories based on the best-selling book by Ilene Beckerman, as well as on the recollections of the Ephrons' friends. Like the popular book, Love, Loss, And What I Wore uses clothing and accessories and the memories they trigger to tell funny and often poignant stories that all women can relate to. The show opened Off Broadway in October 2009 to rave reviews at the Westside Theatre (407 W 43 Street), where it has broken all box office records and is now in its second smash year. Love, Loss, and What I Wore is performed by a rotating cast of five all-star actors who perform in five-week cycles. The current cast, which includes Emily Bergl, Emme, Julie Halston, Ashley Austin Morris and Susan Sullivan, performs through Sunday, July 3, 2011.
