Carynn Butler

Production Manager

My involvement with CPT began in 2015 when I was part of the cast of Miracle Worker. I
became close friends with the incredible Scott VanDyke who invited me to join the team of
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels as the ASM. (Apparently, he saw my talents behind the curtain instead
of in front of it.) Since then, I have stage managed over 10 productions here and been involved
in numerous other events held at the theater.
My favorite shows are Fiddler on the Roof, In the Heights, My Fair Lady, and anything that my
husband is in. I will never tire of seeing him on stage.
I have been involved with theater from a young age and grew up spending my summers in local
community productions with my parents and siblings. I quickly found a love for musical theater
and especially dancing. As fate would have it, this hobby would snowball into life changes.
When I was 19 my dance instructor set me up on a blind date with her nephew and she knew
we were prefect for each other because “he is really into theater too!” Our first date included
seeing a local production of Man of La Mancha. A year later that blind date became my
husband and Scott and I have been together now for 15 years. We have two adorable dogs
Penny and Bella.
When I’m not at the theater I am a hermit. I love to read a lot of books and do a lot of traveling
and camping. Outside of the theatre, my favorite place to be is in Utah’s beautiful mountains.

In your opinion why is the theatre important to the community?
Theater and Family go hand in hand. Some people do theater with their family and some
people find their family while doing theater. It is all encompassing in teaching us how to
communicate, how to learn from others, how to trust each other and trust ourselves.

What is your favorite line in a show?
“The difference between a Lady and a Flower Girl is not in how she behaves, but in how she is
treated.” – My Fair Lady
