About the Show

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.


Artist Biography

Theresa Donahoe is an actor who mainly performed theater in her youth. Deciding to take a break from theater, she started working in movies (such as SCREAM and RENT) while working in television and movie casting for many years as well. After a 17-year hiatus, she returned to the stage and decided to merge her love for writing with her love for acting. Once she discovered the art form of solo performance, she created and debuted her first solo show, “Late Bloomer” at the 2017 Rogue Fringe Festival in Fresno, California. “Born Again in Berkeley”, her second solo show, which made its world premiere at the 2022 Rogue Fringe Festival, is now making its way home to Berkeley.
