Theme: My Alter Ego: Stories of a Double Life
We all contain multitudes. This month’s theme is an invitation to our performers to explore one of the many facets that make them who they are. Who are we when no one's looking? Get ready for fascinating stories of alter egos, hidden truths, and secret identities. As we close in on Halloween, a weekend that explores shadow selves, we’re going to be peeling back our unique layers, only at Generation Women.
