Pass The Mic For Perimenopause: A Comedic Celebration of Women

Charleston, S.C. is set to host an invigorating event aimed at women aged 30 to 50, aptly titled "Pass The Mic For Perimenopause." Produced by Hot in Charleston, known for their acclaimed showcase "Midlife Monologues," this fresh performance promises a night filled with laughter, prose, and song, illustrating the humorous side of perimenopause.

Scheduled for Tuesday, October 14 at 7 pm at the PURE Theatre, this highly anticipated show offers a chance for women to find a sense of community through shared experiences. Tickets are priced starting from $65, and those interested can visit PURETheatre.org or passthemic4peri.com for more information.

The ensemble cast includes a fantastic lineup of talent, featuring comedian and NYC podcaster Casey Balsham; creator of the popular series Funny Women of a Certain Age, Carole Montgomery; and award-winning author Mary Laura Philpott, known for her notable works such as "Bomb Shelter" and "I Miss You When I Blink." Among the performers, Charleston's own Kanika Moore, a national recording artist, will also grace the stage alongside other local talents, ensuring a diverse array of performances.

Kerri Devine, the founder of Hot in Charleston, expressed, "We’re taking control and turning the tables on perimenopause, exposing the raw humor and truth women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s need now." This production follows a sold-out show described as "Powerful," "Unforgettable," and "Pure Joy," reinforcing the show's importance and relevance. Devine and her team are back with this next-generation showcase in collaboration with the beloved midlife podcast, Hot Flashes Cool Topics.

October’s event not only celebrates laughter but also aligns with World Menopause Awareness Month. Following Perimenopause Awareness Month in September, the timing could not be more perfect for sharing experiences and stories. The show will also feature renowned poet Kate Baer, known for her culture-shifting work, expanding the narrative on women's health.

For those unable to attend in person, a livestream of the event will allow audiences across the country to engage with the performance remotely. Corporate sponsors like Menopause Solutions, Hotel Bennett, Meyer Vogl Gallery, and The Works have joined the effort to bring this event to life.

Additionally, a special gallery installation at PURE Theatre will showcase Meyer Vogl's and Redux Art Center's collaboration, highlighting the work of both established and emerging contemporary artists whose creations reflect the essential journey of womanhood. This artistic feature is set to be unveiled on the same day as the performance, offering attendees a richer experience.

Mark your calendars for this unique event that promises to uplift and empower through humor and creativity. The interplay of comedy and storytelling in "Pass The Mic For Perimenopause" is bound to resonate with many, fostering laughter and solidarity among women navigating the complexities of life’s transitions.
