Midlife Monologues is a groundbreaking, multi-genre arts showcase — created in the hottest city in the country — with a powerful message and growing cult following. Inspired by the mantra, “you tell me your story, and somehow, I get mine,” in 2023 Midlife Monologues brought Charleston to its feet with two sold out performances at PURE Theatre and critical acclaim from the press.

On March 12, 2025 at Charleston Music Hall, nearly 1,000 women from every generation will come together for soul-sustaining storytelling on the arc of a woman’s life. With humor, emotion, and insight, a cast of noted authors, artists, actors and musicians will express their life-affirming journeys as they celebrate our shared humanity. Laugh and cry, bring your daughters, bring your girlfriends. This is Midlife Monologues!

Midlife Monologues is presented by Hot in Charleston, a midlife community founded by writer and producer, Kerri Devine, and staged in association with PURE Theatre, an award-winning theater and 501(c)3 organization with a mission to promote meaningful community dialogue.
