Beth Keefauver

Beth Keefauver is a bona fide Carolina girl, and almost a professor. After taking a 10-year hiatus from the stage, during which time she earned a series of useless liberal arts degrees, Beth made her Asheville acting debut with LYLAS. Beth’s theatre experience dates back to high school when she performed in many plays and, much to her post-feminist embarrassment, a beauty pageant. She directed the 2006 production of The Vagina Monologues at Western Carolina University and was last seen bloody and screaming in "EnviroMental," a short horror film produced for the 48 Hour Film Project (2007).
