Telluride's Mudd Butts: Changing Spaces

10 Aug Telluride's Mudd Butts: Changing Spaces

by  Jane Minarovic

Over the years, the Mudd Butts Mystery Theatre Troupe has grown from a small, all-girl cast at the Nugget Theatre, to a cast of 28 boys and girls who perform at the  state-of-the-art Michael D. Palm Theatre for the Performing Arts.  I recently spoke with Sally and Kim about the players, the plays and the places they have experienced in the past 25 years.

Jane Minarovic has degrees in Film Production and Drama from the University of Texas.  She worked in advertising where she wrote, produced and directed hundreds of local and regional commercials.  Later, she entered in the music business and created electronic press kits and music videos for a variety of recording artists including Billy Joe Shaver and Waylon Jennings. After a 10 year break from the business to raise her 3 children, she is very happy to be back producing video, especially since it can now be done with with one tiny camera and a laptop computer!
