BEVERLY COSHAM is one of Washington’s most popular song stylists and actresses. Her one-woman cabaret show has received wide acclaim from coast to coast. Washington Post critic Mike Joyce wrote that “Cosham is a master at creating a warmly evocative mood, no matter how familiar the lyric or how commonthe sentiment.” Ms. Cosham has performed on most of the stages in the Washington area and was nominated for a Helen Hayes award for her work in “Rebel Armies Deep Into Chad” at the Round House Theatre. Beverly has also appeared as a vocalist at numerous venues including Blues Alley, The Folger Theatre, The Shakespeare Theatre, The Lisner Auditorium, The Lyceum, The Arts Club and The World Bank.

She has been guest artist with the Fairfax City Band, The McLean Symphony, and the Navy Commodores. Beverly developed a master class, Acting Up A Song, which uses acting techniques to interpret the lyrics. She has also developed and taught classes for the OLLI/GMU Program. Ms Cosham has three successful audio CDs available: “At Last”, featuring a variety of works from different sources, “Beverly Cosham sings Yip Harburg” which focuses on the creative output of one person, lyricist Yip Harburg, and the most recent "How Do We Keep the Music Playing?".

When not performing, Beverly Cosham serves as chair of the Reston Community Center, President of the Reston Community Orchestra and as secretary to the Lorton Arts Foundation. Beverly is extremely proud to have been a 2011 Best of Reston recipient.
