two women speak about their lives as the audience hears and compares
the two women.

Caril Jennings, Universe City marketing director, said, “We were
pleased and surprised at the interest shown in our first theatre
production at Universe City. The house was full by 5:45 and many, many
people were disappointed at not being able to see the performance.”
