Karen Peakes

Karen is so very happy to be back at Gulfshore so soon after last season’s Steel Magnolias, when she had the honor of playing Truvy! Karen’s first appearance with Gulfshore was as Lizzie, in Maytag Virgin, with her husband right smack in the middle of the pandemic, and Gulfshore will always hold a special place in her heart for being brave enough to make that happen. She’s a Barrymore nominated actor, working primarily in Philadelphia, and has performed with the The Walnut, Arden, Wilma, InterAct, 1812, Act 2 Playhouse, The Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival, The Lantern, Delaware Theatre, and People’s Light. She’s also performed at The Folger, in DC, and The Peterborough Players, in NH. She’s a two-time Audie nominated audiobook narrator of over 80 titles, and proud mom to Owen. Love to Ian, and special thanks to dear Kristen and all the amazing folks at Gulfshore.
