Carolyn Butler is a Berkshire native whose lifelong connection to the region’s arts and culture scene runs deep. With a professional foundation in fundraising and philanthropy—along with experience in finance, public relations, and event planning—she has devoted much of her career to supporting organizations that strengthen communities and elevate meaningful stories. Her relationship with WAM Theatre began long before her return to the Board of Trustees. Drawn to WAM’s mission of centering the voices of women and girls and creating opportunities for female theatre artists, Carolyn felt an immediate alignment with the company’s values and vision. During her previous six-year tenure on WAM’s board, she developed a profound appreciation for the organization’s impact—both on stage and throughout the community. Stepping back into this role feels less like a return and more like a continuation of work that truly matters to her. For Carolyn, supporting WAM is about championing a creative home where vital stories can be heard, celebrated, and uplifted. She is honored to once again contribute to a mission that reflects the heart of the Berkshires and the transformative power of theatre.
