Scenes, sounds, players, their motions, the costumes, the moods and themes of the piece are constantly changing, evolving from one Image Into another. It celebrates woman, the essence of woman with reference to the ancient goddesses and all the women who have ever lived or will ever live. the motif is presented In a great variety of intricate theatrical bits; there are many short scenes, dances songs, changes and comic routines, all following one another swiftly." - Sharon Spencer in UNDeR the SIGN PISCeS '75
