A play about women finding solace, truth, and community in an intimate space of transformation
A variety of women meet regularly at the Try-On Room of a fancy department store, and, like group therapy, they share intimate and complex details of their lives, giving advice and solace to each other that the outside world has denied them.
All the action of the play takes place in the Try-On Room—a dressing room, a changing room—where vulnerability becomes strength, where strangers become sisters, and where the act of trying on clothes becomes a metaphor for trying on new identities, new possibilities, and new ways of being in the world.
The Try-On Room is more than a physical space—it is a sanctuary. Here, in the mirrors and the soft lighting, women of all ages, backgrounds, and circumstances find a place to be seen, heard, and accepted. It is a space where the masks come off, where stories are shared, and where the transformative power of community is realized.
Ten women, played by three actresses, each bringing their own story to the Try-On Room.
