Basketball, Photography, Architecture and Drag Come Together in Dream Builders' A KIND SHOT, Beginning 1/16
By: BWW News Desk
Dream Builders will present the World Premiere of A KIND SHOT, a solo show created and performed by Terri Mateer, Previews begin January 16 with opening night slated for Friday, January 23.
In A KIND SHOT, 6'1" blonde spitfire Terri Mateer vividly tells the story of becoming a professional women's basketball player. Raised in a hippie household without a father figure, an African American surrogate father introduces a shy, tall sixth grader to the joys of basketball. Even though she is a natural at the sport, she dreams of becoming an architect. Thus Terri begins an unbelievable journey that includes modeling, stripping, becoming a drag queen, group therapy and, eventually, playing pro basketball in France. It's an uplifting, honest, no-holds-barred personal account that illustrates that we all occasionally need a coach and a bit of kindness. Mateer has workshopped A KIND SHOT at numerous venues including The New York International Fringe Festival, The Barrow Group, Under St. Marks, The Nuyorican Poets Café. She currently lives in Woodstock, NY where she runs Hearts Bend Landscaping.
