Generation Women is a multigenerational storytelling night that invites a woman or non-binary performer in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s+ to share an original true story on a theme. Our diverse line-ups will make you laugh, cry, and reflect on the cycle of life. The mission of Generation Women is to amplify underheard voices, and create space for intergenerational connection and community. Hosted by Georgia Clark. All are welcome to join us.

Let’s start at the very beginning—we hear it’s a very good place to start. Join us at Joe’s Pub on September 24 at 7pmET for our show, New Starts: Stories of Being a Beginner. There is nothing more daunting than finding yourself back at the starting line and yet nothing more inspiring than getting to start from scratch. Whether it’s a birth (or rebirth), picking up a new hobby, or dipping your toe into something brand new, we can find ourselves as a beginner at any point in life. Experience the magic of our multigenerational lineup as they take you on a ride through moments of initiation, new lessons, and first steps. Tickets are on-sale now on our website for both the in-person show and our livestream (available around the world and on-demand).
