In addition, Beverly is responsible for casting the children's video series Hermie & Friends with amazing talent such as Tim Conway, Don Knotts, Richard Kind, Judge Reinhold, John O’Hurley, Fred Willard, Tahj Mowry and Vicki Lawrence among others. She was also responsible for casting a completely new and never-been-done-before audio version of the New Testament featuring a cast of young talent, including some of today’s hottest young actors such as AnnaSophia Robb, Emily Osment, Corbin Bleu, Cody Linley, Alyson Stoner, Jordin Sparks and Andrew Lawrence, with narration by Sean Astin.
Although film is where most of Beverly’s work is now, it actually all started with the theater. She started acting and singing in high school, continued into college, but then was encouraged to get a “real job.” So, her passion for the performing arts became a “hobby”…but not for long. Soon she began directing productions at her church, which grew into a part time job, which eventually lead to a full time position producing and directing youth theatre throughout Southern California. Of the shows she has directed, her favorites include Godspell, Anne of Green Gables, Guys and Dolls, The Wizard of Oz, Annie, Oklahoma The Sound of Music and Beauty and the Beast. But she is sure that MTOC’s upcoming production of Beauty and the Beast is going to become her NEW FAVORITE!
Beverly has loved the work she has done so far and she continues to look for great stories to tell, in both theater and film! And of course for her, it all starts with casting great actors! Beverly lives in Southern California with her husband Douglas and "wonderdog" Oscar.
