Hey, Jef, Here's My Headshot: BONNIE KEEN

Who's who in Tennessee theater? Sometimes, without a program in your hand, it's difficult to know who's playing whom-hence, our newest feature: Hey, Jef, Here's My Headshot...featuring some of the Volunteer State's best-known-or soon-to-be-known all over the freakin' world-thespians. And have you ever wondered who the amazing photographers are who make them look so damn good? We're gonna tell ya…

Today's actor/subject/model is the timelessly beautiful and ultra-talented Bonnie Keen, photographed by Samatha Stables Bean, with her make-up and styling by Susannah Smith White.

A favorite on stages all over the world for a while now, Bonnie Keen will be onstage Saturday, August 4, at The Troutt Theatre at Belmont University for The First Night Honors presents Love, Loss and What I Wore. The presentation of the acclaimed off-Broadway play by Nora and Delia Ephron-its Nashville premiere-is part of the 2012 Sideshow Fringe Festival.

Among Bonnie's previous onstage assignments include her two-woman show, with Nan Gurley, that is performed around the country: Women Who Dare. She and Gurley also comprise one-half of The Glory Bugles, the critically acclaimed Christian comedy theater troupe. She has appeared locally with Circle Players in Into The Wood, at the Boiler Room Theatre for Funny Girl in Concert and with Studio Tenn Theatre Company in their production of Hello, Dolly! and in the Matt Logan-directed version of Cinderella: The Enchanted Edition, presented as a fundraiser for Show Hope.
