Amber Blais
Producing Director
Amber dreams of one day growing wings and learning to fly.
She is Founder and Producing Director of Starry Night Productions (formerly Rainbow Militia Circus), and has over 15 years of PR, marketing, donor relations, theater, event planning and production experience. Her most recent role was working in collaboration with ownership to build the entertainment program from the ground up for the iconic Casa Bonita Denver.
Amber has been practicing the aerial arts for over 15 years, with fabric as her favorite apparatus. When not in the air, she also performs as a tarot reader, actor, and public speaker. She has worked all over the U.S. and thrives when she is able to perform with live musicians. One of her favorite collaborations was with Chimney Choir at the Levitt Pavilion in a space themed circus extravaganza.
