A night of storytelling from Gen-X women sharing the true, messy, deep, often hilarious stories of our midlife lives.

Join us as we celebrating our 10th birthday telling stories around the theme of “AMBITION” (‘Cause it took some ambition to last this long!). Expect an informal party vibe with 6 storytellers, quick 30-second tales from the audience and maybe even some cake?

Our fabulous host for the evening is none other than Ophira Eisenberg, the award-winning standup comedian, writer, and the host of the comedy podcast Parenting Is A Joke with iHeart Radio and Pretty Good Friends. She also hosted NPR's Ask Me Another where she interviewed hundreds of celebrities including Sir Patrick Harris, Rosie Perez, Yo-Yo Ma, Awkwafina, Roxanne Gay, Nick Kroll, Chelsea Handler and more.
