Your instructors:
Beth Byrd-Lonski has been quite loudly advocating for Mime in the Kansas City area since 1995. making city organizers say “Who let the Mime into this meeting?” A phrase not heard often enough if you ask her. She has performed many times in the KC Fringe Festival, The Kansas City Renaissance Festival, Art in the Loop, and all over town during the lockdown (Safest social distancing art form EVER!) Beth's teachers and mentors include Marcel Marceau, Greg Goldston and Kari Margolis.
She draws inspiration from masters such as Red Skelton, Carol Burnett, Charlie Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy and many, many more.
Beth is a cast member of the S.M.U.T. Variety Show at Missie B's, she'll be returning this Fall to the Kansas City Renaissance Festival as Sparrow the Court Jester, and she performed in the KC Fringe Festival in Tim Mooney's Breakneck Midsummer Night's Dream as Puck where the cast won Best Ensemble!
