"A lovely, raw, and emotional piece...Being as charismatic and strong as one could ever hope to be, Terri opens her heart to the audience and tells us of a crazy, artistic life...I would be uncomfortable or incredibly sad as a story such as this unfolds, but Terri somehow keeps it light, charming and funny. She weaves her tale with an understated warmth that makes you feel like she’s your friend...All in all, it’s a simple and straightforward show...A very intimate experience."

"I feel very fortunate to have seen the amazing Terri Mateer, a beautiful, talented, gracious performer...The autobiographical, one woman show was truly moving, inspirational, and in the end, profound. She 'had me' as they say, when she talked of learning to shoot...Mateer went on to do so much more, blending her basketball and life experiences, in telling her inspirational story...I highly recommend seeing the extraordinary Terri Mateer in this truly moving work."

"The tone of the play is conversational – as if she’s talking to a group of friends. This is not a polished play. Instead 'A Kind Shot' is more a workshop composed of anecdotal stories which include mature and graphic sexual subject matter. She does not appear to be bitter or angry, rather she exudes warmth and approachability...It’s an important lesson and, no matter what gender or age, we can all learn from her story."
