Becky Almy

Assistant Director & Events Coordinator

Becky learned about Lime Kiln Theater before moving to the area in 2014 and was inspired by the energy and enthusiasm of the theater's rebirth. She spent her first summer in Rockbridge County as a FOLK, joined the Lime Kiln board the following year, and is now a full-time member of the theater's staff. Her passion for live music, good times, and the great outdoors, combined with her attention to detail and organizational geekiness, make her "work" at Lime Kiln feel more like a dream job. When she isn't at Lime Kiln, Becky keeps busy homeschooling her two kids, managing her family's vacation rental, and working on her homestead.
