Jennifer Gonzalez began working with WOBCP in 2013. She has been on the stage and behind the scenes in various supporting roles. She moved to Leander in 1984 and has seen the community grow incredibly.

She lives in Cedar Park with her husband, cats, dogs, and bees. She also loves to provide a creative space for her middle school theatre students.
Beth Anderson first became involved with Way Off Broadway in 2003. For the next few years, she acted in several shows and served on the Board one year. After a thirteen-year hiatus, she returned as an actor in 2021. Beth has been a Leander resident for about fifteen years and lived in Cedar Park several years before that. She’s volunteered with Girl Scouts, Scouts BSA, RockPointe Church, and area schools. Now that she’s plugged back into community theatre, she’s excited to use her passion for the arts in a backstage capacity as a Way Off Broadway board member. Beth’s roles outside from the theatre include being a wife and a mom of two, writing and publishing novels, and narrating audiobooks.
Grace attended her first WOBCP production in 2015 and felt a desire to be involved in bringing theater to the community ever since. She has spent the last 5 years back in school learning accounting, and sees the treasurer position as the perfect opportunity to apply her love for accounting by giving back to the organization that brought her much needed entertainment during those years back in school. She lives in Cedar Park where she enjoys exploring nature and spending time with her rabbit, Christopher.
