When we first meet the "Chimes" answering service operators in the swinging 60s, all is glam and good fun, but fifty years of economic, social, and technological upheaval sure leave their mark on a girl. Ball Change is a time traveling tale about how objects and ideas go out of style, commissioned by MTC through the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
