Jennylind has always loved the intimate genre of cabaret and was thrilled to present her one-woman tribute to her hero Carol Burnett in, "A Woman of Character: A Tribute To the Incomparable Carol Burnett" at the Metropolitan Room, Don't Tell Mama, and the Laurie Beechman Theater. She has been referred to by critics as not only"hilarious" and " farcically funny" but also "a gifted actress and elegant singer with a rich voice, grace, and ease." She is currently working on writing a new show with Cabaret Triple Crown winner, Gretchen Reinhagen featuring stories from her heart and songs with a little country flavor. In addition to her career on stage she is a Pastor, spending much of her time ministering to women and other artists.
