The play deals with the personal ordeals of each of the female characters. Many of them are very touching; a few are even intensely emotional. However, there is also the very comical. Even the funny ones, however, have an underlying depth to them that gives a sensitive insight into each of the characters involved. The ladies cover a wide spectrum of life and age from the fading rodeo star in "Rodeo" to the young aspiring actress in "Audition", there is much tenderness and diversity in the subject matter involved in the play.<ref name="Women Leading Kentucky">{{cite web|title=Talking With …|url=http://womenleadingky.com/about-the-play/|publisher=Women Leading Kentucky|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160927194033/http://womenleadingky.com/about-the-play/ |access-date=27 September 2018|archive-date=2016-09-27 }}</ref><br />
