BREAKDOWN
From the creators of Comic-Con The Musical, GLASS CEILINGS is a new musical about women throughout history whose stories you don’t know, but you should. It takes place in the surreal afterlife of “Hergatory,” where the women tell the stories of their lives while watching events unfold on Earth, wondering if they’re about to witness a major glass ceiling breaking.
