A woman in leopard print clothing is smiling and pointing at a rating board outside a theater. She has a black handbag and a pink wristband. The board displays various ratings in orange and purple stars, with some labeled for different shows or stations. There is a bright pink sign at the bottom right indicating a sale and sound system details.
