A performing Board member of the Vail Valley Theatre Company having joined in 2006 for the wildly popular and successful An Evening on Broadway productions which played at the Vilar Performing Arts Center each winter season for many years. You may have most recently seen her as Columbia in VVTC’s October production of The Rocky Horror Show, dancing while Judy Collins sang her infamous tune, Both Sides Now during The Youth Foundation’s 2010 Star Dancing Gala, or in the 2009 production of Godspell with The Porchlight Players. During daylight hours she is a REALTOR® /co-owner of Vail Property Brokerage, Inc. and has proudly served on the Board of Education with Eagle County Schools for ten years. Dancing and performing since the age of three; beginning her professional career at age sixteen, Connie is reliving her first career and true passion. Hailing from Los Angeles, she can be seen in the films, Grease 2 and Pennies From Heaven, as well as touring with Columbia Artists and the Danny Daniels Dance America Tap Dance Company. In fact, if you come across any of those tour videos – let her know, as tap dancing on Pointe is truly a lost vaudevillian art! She would like to extend a special thanks to her family for accepting the “theatre life” and understanding how important dancing, performing, and entertaining is to living for her.

Bart was raised in the Vail Valley, moved to Aspen while in high school, and grew to love theater and film production during those years. He studied Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University for no apparent reason save for a love of math and lack of any serious film options. He started Garton Video Productions in 1988 and continues to produce television and web-based programs both locally and nationally. He’s passionate about theater in the valley and joined the board in 2009 in hopes of helping to create more awareness, accessibility, and quality of local productions. Married with three children, Bart can usually be found on a mountain bike trail or competing in the latest stupid adventure race. He’ll ski and snowboard in the winter too- if pushed.

Donna has lived in this beautiful Valley for longer than I've lived anywhere else throughout my life. Prior to laying down roots here, I had lived and performed in the Northeast and the Southeast appearing in theater, film and TV productions. I have been playing with the Vail Valley Theater Company since the late 90s (that's 1990s, not 1890s!) and I have recently experienced the privilege of being elected to the board of the Vail Valley Theatre Company. Between performances, I continue acquiring skills and experience as a practicing Nationally Certified, Licensed and Insured Bodywork & Massage Therapist working in conjunction with local Physicians and other Medical Professionals.
