Meet "Betty" from The Foreigner Cast

Linda Wolfe (Betty Meeks)

The Foreigner marks Linda Wolfe’s return to the IT stage after 6 years. She has been active in theater since the age of 10. As an adult, some of Linda’s favorite roles have been Lady Macbeth in Macbeth in Juneau, Alaska, The Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz at Theater El Dorado in 1999, and M’Lynn in Steel Magnolias at Imagination Theater in 2004. Linda has also assistant directed several shows at TED and IT, including The Foreigner in 1997, Meet Me in St. Louis in 1998, and Breaking Legs in 2007. Linda teaches at Charles Brown Elementary School and coaches their Oral Interpretation team. She would like to thank her husband, Peter, for his support and their shared love of theater, and her children, Brian and Sarah. Special thanks to daughter, Sarah, for her professional makeup design for Betty. She also thanks Lanny Langston for letting her play this spunky old lady and the awesome Foreigner cast for an amazing ensemble experience. Finally, Linda would like to give a big ol’ southern hug to Larin Hinson, Betsy Hawkins, and Paula Deen (on the Food Network) for their dialect coaching!
