"The score required that the two halves of the audience, having sung themselves hoarse in competitive choruses, be abruptly overrun by little league sports kids and flagbrandishing boy-scout troupes and that the Performing Arts Theatre be volcanically filled with billowing clouds of acrid brown smoke as a coda. As we all staggered, coughing and weeping and laughing into the sudden calm of the redwood night outside, I knew we had enjoyed an experience that was absolute rock-bottom Santa Cruz, inimitable and unrepeatable."

--Reyner Banham, Arts at Santa Cruz, Fall, 1981
