About Cara

Cara Hendsbee is an Atlanta-based artist who presents one woman shows, plays, spoken word poetry, and Bible teachings on theatrical, church, and school stages across the Southeast.

At age ten, Cara began acting in speech competitions in her Greenville, SC hometown. A year later, she performed an excerpt from the Biblical book of Luke—the first of many opportunities to bring Scripture to life onstage. Her one woman shows are likewise completely from Scripture, weaving Old and New Testament books into a riveting, action-filled performance.

In 2023, Cara fell in love with spoken word poetry while attending open mics in Atlanta. She decided to try her hand at her first poem, and quickly began reveling in the rhythms, physicality, and wordplay the art form offers.

When not performing, Cara can be found hiking, serving at her local church, or hosting events at her home in Stone Mountain.
