BlackCAST produces this poignant and provocative tale of the all-or-nothing fiery preacher Margaret Alexander with a heart and hand of iron.

Brener ’07 as Lloyd, the director of Nothing On; Brener’s exasperation, exhaustion and manic self-dramatizing perfectly captured Lloyd’s overwhelmed and overeducated personality. Margaret A.
