Matt Hartman, Box Office Manager

Matt recently found a love of theatre and has been performing with the CWC Theatre Department for the last few years. But he is not new to the stage. You’ll also see him playing trombone with the Fremont Symphony, CWC Concert and Jazz Bands, the South Pass Traditional Jazz Band, and the occasional quartet or quintet. Matt loves to dance and has performed with “Dancing with the Stars,” a local nonprofit CES for the last two years. When not performing, Matt moonlights as a tree trimmer, a profession he was in for over a decade. We want to thank him for his military service in the  National Guard, Army, and Army Reserves (2001-2015) and let him know how excited we are for him to join us.
