President - Harmony Dawson
Harmony Dawson moved to Crested Butte after traveling the world for twenty years while enlisted in the US Army in the Military Police Corps. While living in Germany, Harmony found Crested Butte and her partner online and couldn't believe either were so beautiful in real life. Harmony had some minor acting roles in school, but the acting bug didn't bite until she discovered improvisational theater. She has appeared on the CBMT stage as Madge in Christmas Thieves, Oiser Boudreaux in Steel Magnolias, several roles in Pippin, Clown 2 in 39 Steps, and with 'Subject to Change' Improv Troupe. |
