      Graves started performing as a child in musical theatre and with The Metropolitan Opera, where she performed for six seasons. She made her television debut in "Saturday Night Live" in 1986, as 'The Girl Scout' opposite Phil Hartman, starred in the PBS/Wonderworks Series "The Fig Tree" (1987) with Doris Roberts and Teresa Wright, and gained attention in Peter Benchley's CBS prime time pilot "Dolphin Cove" (1989) as Katie Larson. On stage, she originated the role of Clara in the world premiere of Arthur Miller's "Danger:Memory!" (1987) at Lincoln Center Theater, directed by Gregory Mosher, toured internationally with "The Sound of Music" (1988) directed by James Hammerstein and starring Debbie Boone, David Cryer, and Marybeth Piel as Elsa, and assumed the role of Ginya in Leslie Ayvazian's "Nine Armenians" (1996) at Manhattan Theatre Club.

      In 2000, she entered the Yale School of Drama and got her MFA in 2003.

      Continued stage credits include Broadway, Off-Broadway and Regional Theatre. She received paid training with the SITI Company to star in their world premiere of "Intimiations for Saxophone" (2005) directed by Anne Bogart at Arena Stage. She starred opposite James Whitmore in "Trying" (2006) at Ford's Theatre, and again opposite James Whitmore for the 70th Anniversary celebration of "Our Town" (2008) in Peterborough, NH, the birthplace of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play. Karron played Isobel Ashbrook on Broadway in the Tony-nominated "Coram Boy" (2007) directed by Melly Still.

      Karron is most known for playing Mary Warren in 20th Century Fox's "The Crucible" (1996) starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Joan Allen, Paul Scofield, and Winona Ryder.
