If you follow the local theater scene even a little, you’re no doubt familiar with the oh-so-versatile Jennifer Whitcomb-Oliva. This past season she turned in a stunning performance as Diana in Street Theatre’s Next to Normal, and embodied the mighty spirit of the Present in Rabbit Room Theatre/Matt Logan’s gorgeous new adaptation of A Christmas Carol. She kept busy with Studio Tenn — offering memorable turns in Little Shop of Horrors and The Play That Goes Wrong — before premiering a compelling new performance piece for Kindling Arts Festival that blended spoken word, movement and her singular spirit.
