“In our family Christmas letter back when I was 13, my Mom called me the ‘Hold your breath and pray’ child. I’ve never asked her specifically how she hoped the divine would intercede in my life, but I’m grateful that she’s got a heck of a lung capacity.”

Reviews:

“Renée Threatte the wonderful co-star brings a lovely grace note of understatement to the play. It doesn’t hurt that Threatte is also so stunningly beautiful that it’s almost distracting.” - 'Trickster At The Gate' AtHand Theatre Co.

“Jennifer is well played by Renée Threatte, making a character who seems to be grabbing her pain with both hands overcome that hurdle with some of Nell’s spirit to carry her through.”  -  'Trickster At The Gate' AtHand Theatre Co.
