Ailey Addams Operations Manager - is a graduate from Western State University and has decided to make the Gunnison Valley her home. The beauty of Crested Butte and a passion for the arts brought her to the Mallardi Theatre, where she hopes to be a part of all aspects of the preforming arts. Being taken to both a Drag show, and a production of ‘Rocky Horror Picture Show’ at 11 years old, kick started a longtime love for the culture of theatre and performance. When she is not working on productions, she enjoys reading everything she can get her hands on, and attending all types of shows and concerts both locally and across the country.
