A Blank stage is set to adorn a combination of a house on one side and what will soon become the work stations of the women in this production.

These wise words from Muriel Rukyster were the only thing standing between the audience and the works to be portrayed on the stage this night.

This is the foundation of the Powerstories Theatre mission."With that the scene is set and a whirlwind 90 minutes set to no intermission was about to unfold in front of us.
