Whew – it’s probably safe to say Jen is a busy gal!
We are so excited Jen has found time in her schedule to join us for our staged reading on June 24th. She has chosen to perform the pieces “Ouch!” and “Beautiful Women” from My Letter to Fear. “Ouch!” is a humorous diatribe about the lengths to which women will go with intimate grooming. On the more serious side, “Beautiful Women” considers how hard it can be for a woman to admit what she loves about herself.
A girl after our own hearts, Jen is also active in various charities and has provided under served children multiple concerts, garnering her the National Educators Award in Guatemala. She has also partnered with ChildHelp to spread awareness and help victims of child abuse and neglect.
Come see Jen and our other wonderful actresses perform in My Letter to Fear on Sunday, June 24th and stay tuned for our next actress profile in a few days!
