In conjunction with receiving the award, Beth will speak at a free event on 4 April at Meredith College’s Jones Auditorium in Raleigh, North Carolina!

Beth, who graduated from Meredith College in 1977, is set to receive her alma mater’s 2023 Woman of Achievement Award.

In celebration of this award, she will be interviewed by Meredith Professor Emerita Catherine Rodgers on Tuesday, April 4, at 7PM in Jones Auditorium. Rodgers is a Meredith alumna who retired from the College’s theatre faculty in 2022.
