CUPS | Thousand Oaks | August 11-September 4

Nora (Star Trek Generations favorite Gwynyth Walsh) discovers that her bras hold memories too, in the LA premier of CUPS by Joni Sheram, now through September 4 at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza's intimate Scherr Forum Theatre.

CUPS traces the milestones in a woman’s life through the bras she’s worn. The one-woman show, written by Joni Sheram, captures a lifetime of remarkable events in this hilarious, often poignant memory play. From training to push-up, front-hooked and strapless to nursing and mastectomy, CUPS reminds us how these intimates hold our memories, too.

The show’s star Gwynyth Walsh, has co-starred in the acclaimed CBC series “DaVinci’s Inquest” and has been featured on the television series “ER,” “Smallville,” “NYPD,” and “Star Trek; The Next Generation,”  among many others. She won a Dramalogue Award for her work with the LA Shakespeare Festival and has performed at Canada’s prestigious Stratford Festival.
