Hourglass | Book & Lyrics by Caroline Game, Music by Matthew Nassida
“We peer through the mirror looking at four different women who tell their stories of the complexities that have evolved from their experiences with generational & societal beauty standards from the 50s through to the modern day we witness how years have shaped each woman’s perspective on female bodies all while they grieve the recent loss of their grandmother/mother.”
