Terri Mateer to Bring A KIND SHOT to Bridge Street Theatre This Month

By:
Whether working the court or navigating life itself, former pro basketball player Terri Mateer has taken plenty of hits - but that hasn't diminished her drive to score. "A Kind Shot", the one-woman show she's created out of her experiences, will be performed by Ms. Mateer herself July 22-24 at Bridge Street Theatre's intimate Speakeasy in Catskill.

Fresh, brave, daring, and performed with an athlete's grace and confidence (but none of the indulgent swagger), the 6' 1" Mateer's autobiographical show contains plenty of insider anecdotes and famous names that will appeal to fans of street, college, and pro sports. Along with her experience in these worlds, Mateer has also worked as a model, a stripper, a designer, and an actor. Raised by a single hippie mom and an African American surrogate father, and mentored by numerous others, she credits them with giving her the fortitude to confront the sexual abuse and harassment she's experienced. Fortunately, it seems there's been a happy ending for this girl who never quite knew who she was.

"A Kind Shot" will be presented for three performances only at the Bridge Street Theatre Speakeasy, 44 W. Bridge Street, Catskill, on Friday & Saturday July 22 & 23 at 7:30pm and Sunday July 24 at 2:00pm. Tickets are $15, $10 for students 21 and under, and go on sale at the door one half hour prior to the performance.
