We are looking for unique, uplifting stories that shed light on the human experience. Each piece should run about 5-7 minutes (~1,200 words) and focus on the following:

• Vulnerability. Our audience loves stories that are emotionally honest, and tell the truth in language that is simple and direct. Share your hopes and fears, your ups and down, with us. It’s powerful to hear someone share a truth that’s hard to share. This isn’t a requirement, but at least a couple of lines of truth telling work well for our night.

• Your experience. This is a very warm room, and supportive environment. If you have something to say about the experience of sexism, racism, homophobia, ageism etc, we’re here for it. We’re interested in how you experience life.

• Hope. Hope, overcoming adversity, persistence, grit, determination: stories that end on a note like this always do well. We are all struggling, and it’s empowering to hear stories from people who are determined to keep going. Your victories are our victories.

• Humor. We love to laugh! Stories for our night do NOT need to be heavy—make us laugh! The more jokes, the better.

• Sexy. Yup, sexy. We love hearing stories about love, sex, and desire, particularly from older women. It’s just not something we hear enough about, and our audience eats. it. up. Go as raunchy as you’d like!

Questions? Feel free to reach out!

Yes! Each performer will be paid $50 and receive one complimentary ticket to the show.

We’re here to support our performers every step of the way! We will work with you on a draft of your story 2-3 weeks before the show and make sure it is ready to go by performance night. We want to help each of our storytellers shine.

Yes! Generation Women is a huge production, so we’re always looking for more help from bright and motivated people. If you have a minimum of one hour a week to help out, we'd love to hear from you. All internships are unpaid.
