"Trisha Jeffrey just created the tour-de-force lead role of Fannie Lee Chaney in the world premiere of the drama THREE MOTHERS by Ajene D. Washington at Capital Repertory Theatre, April 2024.
In this fictional historical play directed by Petronia Paley, three mothers from different walks of life deal with the aftermath of the 1964 Mississippi Burning and the murder of their three sons by the Klu Klux Klan.
"Most impressive of all is Trisha Jeffrey’s portrayal of Fannie Lee Chaney, the African American Mississippi native whose son suffered the most brutality of the three. From the moment she steps on set, we immediately see that Fannie is out of her element, but her stalwart nature also shines through."
- Berkshire On Stage
"Trisha Jeffrey is outstanding as Chaney. Her character goes from polite to frustrated to rage as she feels that Schwerner's pleas to move are not what she wants, needs or is interested in."

"Where the show thrives, is in its characters and especially in its performers. Trisha Jeffrey, Judith Lightfoot Clarke, and Cheryl Stern are absolute powerhouses and bring such brilliant and varied approaches to the grief they are all experiencing."
