It all started in a tiny 76-seat perfume-shop-turned-theatre in Orlando, Florida, on March 28, 2001. Inspired by a hot flash and a bottle of wine, writer/producer Jeanie Linders created the show as a celebration of women who are on the brink of, in the middle of, or have survived The Change. Since its first performance, the show has evolved as a "grassroots" movement of women who deal with life after 40 and all the challenges that result from the mental, physical, and spiritual freedom of the post-WWII baby boomer generation.

The ensemble production features four women at a department store‘s lingerie sale with nothing in common but a black lace bra and hot flashes, night sweats, memory loss, chocolate binges, not enough sex, too much sex, and more. A joyful parody of 25 re-lyricized classic baby boomer hits, the 90-minute show features chart-toppers including "I Heard It Thru the GrapeviNe You No Longer See 39" and the disco favorite "Stayin‘ Awake! Stayin‘ Awake!"

"Most women know intuitively that every other woman is experiencing hot flashes or night sweats," says Linders. "There is always a close friend or two who can sympathize or identify with her, but when they are sitting in a theatre with 420 other women, all laughing and shouting‚ 'That's me! That's me on stage!' they know what they are experiencing is normal. They aren't alone...or crazy. It becomes a sisterhood."
