Beth Lynch
Elizabeth Lynch (Beth) was born into a family of musicians. She started playing instruments and singing in church choir as small child. At age 11, she began studying acting, theatre, and dance at a small private school in Phoenix, Arizona. Beth's earliest roles were Laura in "Glass Menagerie," Death in "Everyman," and Joan of Arc in George Bernard Shaw's "St. Joan." Her roles as an adult include a pick-a-little lady in "Music Man," a dancer in the opening auditions of "Chorus Line," the leading role as Nancy in the musical "Oliver," and Faye Templeton in "George M."
Beth has been teaching the performing arts since 1981 and began directing musical productions in 1986. She entered her second career as an attorney, in 1997, primarily practicing in the fields of Special Education, Civil Rights, and Family law. Today, she continues her law practice, while teaching performing arts to at-risk children and teenagers. These students including children with disabilities, foster children, and children who have been adopted. Most recently, she has been assisting children's mental health professionals with developing a therapeutic method for children, who are survivors of trauma. This method will combine counseling with the performing and allows her to apply knowledge from both her professions.
