What’s the Buzz? Move Over Marie Kondo
About this blog:
-
What's the Buzz" covers what's happening, what might be happening, and what should be happening in the opinion of the author.
Eleanor Cade Busby is an unpublished award-winning writer, photographer and blogger & simply loves writing about herself in third person.She published this absolutely all true bio.
Busby grew up all over New England,a preacher's kid who set out to destroy every single stereotype about a "Minister's Daughter."
She attended Goddard College, The Rhode Island Conservatory of Music and The School of Life, majoring in everything she could stuff into her head. She once had her own office and a red stapler. Her employees learned quickly never to touch it.
Much of her very long life has been spent on or back-stage at theaters. She penned a couple of plays, directed many more and acted in scores of productions. She's done it all except hanging lighting. You can't make her climb a ladder.
She won awards locally & nationally for social services and customer care. Most recently she was awarded the PEN/Toni and James C. Goodale Freedom of Expression Courage Award along with 3 million of her closest personal friends for "galvanizing a potent global movement to resist infringements on the rights and dignity of women and many other groups."
Busby has been a theater, art and dance reviewer and commentator for several publications, including CRACKED magazine.
Opinionated, obstinate, much-abused, and under-appreciated, she believes that if it isn't funny or relevant, it isn't worth it.
Eleanor Cade Busby lives in Midcoast Maine with two cats who like to stand on her head at 3 AM demanding a sacrifice, often her sanity.

River Company and the Lincoln Theater Present “Love, Loss, and What I Wore” an intimate collection of vignettes, stories and monologues based on Ilene Beckerman’s best seller. The show runs on Friday June 28 at 7 PM and Saturday June 29 at 2 and 7PM at the Lincoln Theater in Damariscotta.
Written by sisters Nora and Delia Ephron, “Love, Loss, and What I Wore,” uses clothing, its accessories, and the memories those garments trigger woven into stories to which all can relate. If Marie Kondo convinced some of us to purge our wardrobes, “Love, Loss and What I Wore” is an ode to holding on to the memories of all the too-small and unflattering outfits in our wardrobes, because it is these, too, that “spark joy”. This is ultimately a magnificent celebration of life though old but unforgotten clothes . It’s a wry commentary on the pressures women constantly face to look a certain way.
Co-directors Eleanor Cade Busby and Nick Azzaretti bring together dynamic and talented Midcoast actors, Dagney Ernest, Christina Belknap, Carole Florman, Judy McQuillen, Zora Margolis, Christine Thalia Andersen, and Laurie Brown, who deliver the experiences of 29 women at various life stages.
Every story is relatable. Adventures are shared about wearing that first Brownie uniform, or a first prom dress or shopping for a bra with (Ye Gods!) your Dad. Everyone in the audience has a story about shopping for that perfect dress, or what they loved or hated about things they were compelled to wear throughout life. It’s all here, fast paced and packed in 90 minutes, with all the angst, the joy, and the challenges. The audience might hear things their own Mother said as they were growing up “You are not leaving the house in THAT,” “That makes you look too thin”, fat, pale--- and on it goes.
Photos are moments from the lives of the actresses- and proof that we all can look back fondly at those “Outfits” and fashions we thought were so “IT”. The haircuts, the family photos- we need to enjoy and love these moments in this increasingly cynical age. Come and enjoy the journey with River Company and Lincoln Theater.
Damon Leibert’s projections of the drawings original to the book will light up the stage where the actresses will bring these real women to life. Probably while dressed in black. ( “Do you have that dress in black? Why do we always look so good in black?”
Tickets are $20 for adults, $18 for Lincoln Theater members, and $5 for youth 18 and under. All ticket sales are final – Nonrefundable and Nonexchangeable.
All tickets are available for purchase at the door beginning 30 minutes before showtime, or in advance* through Lincoln Theater’s online box office at https://bit.ly/3XbUWNk or lcct.org
