Christy Garfield has been connected to ACT since birth. The first show her mom Rita Hunter volunteered for occured the year Christy was born. The organization has been a thru line of Christy's life. She's been a performer (first in 1988, and then 10+ more shows over the decades), a board member, and the #1 supporter of her mom, who produced or co-produced more than 50 ACT productions. She is committed to helping ACT thrive in its next half-century as a treasured community asset.

Ever since he was plucked out of his second grade class to play a supporting role in the third grade operetta, Charlie has had a love for musical theater and performing. He has played in many musicals since then, but being on the ACT board is the first time he has worked behind the scenes in a theater company. His board duties include writing email newsletters, creating promotional content for social media, and taking minutes at meetings. He loves how ACT brings the town together, from the cast and crew to the audience and supporters.

Hensley grew up in New York City, where she developed a flair for the performing arts at a young age. Making her way west, she studied theater and geology at Whitman College, in Walla Walla, Washington. She has been in the Valley for over 10 years, building a career in hospitality with Aspen Skiing Company. She is excited to be part of ACT's wonderful organization and to contribute to bringing magical performances to our community.

Tammy Baar is an Aspen native, born and bred. She appeared in the first ever ACT production a LONG time ago and has enjoyed participating in many since. Favorite ACT roles include Mrs. Potts in Beauty and the Beast, Golde in Fiddler on the Roof, and Mother Abbess in The Sound of Music. Her passion has been working with children throughout her life. Tammy directs countless productions with local children in the Aspen area. She clowns around locally as Buttons the Clown and other characters through her company, Kidtoons Productions, and also teaches children’s music classes with Aspen Music Together. 

Katriona moved from the UK to the valley in 2000. In 2007, despite having lived in Aspen for 7 years, she'd not lost her accent, and Aspen still didn't feel quite like home. In joining her first production of "She Loves Me" with ACT that fall, things changed: She finally felt that she was part of the Aspen community and, since that time, she has been in a further 8 ACT shows. Some of her favorites have been "9 to 5", "Mary Poppins", and "Spamalot". In 2020 she joined the board as she felt it was time to start giving back to her adopted community through the organization that had given her so much. The accent? Well...that stuck around too.

 Amy has been part of the ACT community since 2015 performing and assisting backstage. She has been on the board since 2017. Amy is grateful to the Aspen community and their support of local theatre!  

Travis Lane came to the RFV to work for the Crystal Palace in 2002, but quickly got involved with ACT during his first off-season. Upon his return to the valley in 2014 to join the program team at the Aspen Historical society, he jumped at the chance to join the ACT board and help behind the scenes, as well as on stage, to bring the high quality, professional caliber performances to which the patrons have become accustomed. He feels truly lucky to have the opportunity to spend so much of his free time performing, both for ACT and for several of the professional theater companies in the area.

Jennifer made the jump and moved to Aspen in spring of 2004. After surviving her first audition, she was welcomed into the ACT family as a cast member of Fiddler on the Roof in 2006. A lover of theatre, dance and music, Jennifer went on to perform in She Loves Me in 2007 and the 40th Anniversary show in 2016. Fueled by the tremendous joy and sense of community that ACT creates through high-quality shows and workshops, she is honored to play a different role as board member of this beloved Aspen institution. She looks forward to paying it forward for future generations.
