Cast

Jennifer Coy Jennings was recently seen as Natalie and Principal Moore in A Doctor’s Visit for Broad Theatre. Her first romp through the beautiful dream that is Wild Horses was in 2018 with Vortex Repertory. The show received critical acclaim, an outpouring of love from audiences near and far, and the 2018 B. Iden Payne Outstanding Actress in a Drama, the 2018 Austin Critics Table Outstanding Performance by an Individual, and a spot on Robert Faires’ Top 10 (+1) Theatre Riches of 2017.

To be lucky enough to tell this story again is almost too much blessing for one person to bear. Favorite shows of Jen’s include A Million More To Go (Jarrott Productions), Alabaster (Shrewd Productions), Storm Still (Vortex Rep), Terminus (Vortex Rep), Sing Muse (Vortex Rep), Lear (Vortex Rep), Much Ado About Nothing (Penfold Theatre and Present Company), and Agent Adromeda (Sky Candy). All my love to Selah Jane, the finest thing I’ve ever made, and to Zane, the finest man I’ve ever known.

Jennifer Coy Jennings plays a woman reflecting on the era between girlhood and womanhood. She’s trapped in a dysfunctional family but surrounded by friends whose exploits are both hilarious and poignant, verging at times on harrowing, as they navigate the world of teenage exploration. Together, they hatch a zany plan to free a herd of horses from captivity, but it’s clear the horses are not the only ones longing to escape.
