THERESA
DONAHOE: BORN AGAIN IN BERKELEY
November 23 & 24, 2024
In this new dramedy, Theresa shares the story about pulling into her church’s parking lot for the very first time only to be greeted by fired-up angry LGBT protesters dressed in drag. As a new born-again Christian, she wonders why her new church family is at the center of controversy. But it’s not until years later, after moving to the liberal Berkeley area, that she begins to unravel the surprising
answers to her questions.
“…excellently paced slow burn of character development.”
