Theme: Of A Certain Age: Stories about Getting Older
Aging: we’re all doing it, whether you’re Team 20s or Team 80s. We want to know how YOU do it. This month at Generation Women, we're inviting our performers to tell us a story about getting older. It might be a moment of realization, of humor, of joy, of sadness, of frustration. Whatever it is, it’ll be human and true. This September, our all-star line-up will be sharing their truth about aging with you.
