Jenni Barber (Beetlejuice) comes from a family lineage of caretaking, and it is infused in every role she plays, from cast member, to teacher and mentor, to wife and mother. Jenni explores the profound connectivity, as well as the risk to a loss of self in the role of caretaker, and how she is learning to balance it with age and wisdom. Learn more about your ad choices.
